For a good price to performance ratio, you can either select a AMD A6-A8-or A10 APU if he's not gonna be doing hardcore gaming.

If he is, I guess you can go with a FX x35x series processor (like FX4350, 6350, 8350).

And maybe get an AMD Radeon HD 6670, 6770, or 7770.

For the motherboard, if you do happen to get the ones I referred, the APU sockets are FM2 and the FX series sockets are AM3+.

Minimum amount of RAM for most gaming PCs are 8 gigs but it's up to you dude (or your friend).

for the PSU, you might want to go with 500 watts just for assurance.

I cant send you links cause I dont know any Portugese websites or understand Portugese.

You could just send me an american or whatever website, and I could search those parts in a Portuguese website


He's just gonna do normal gaming with me (not like Battlefield 15 with super ultra mega graphics running at 3k fps, just some games like Far Cry, LoL, AC3, etc etc).


About the Graphic card, we actually found a GeForce GT640 2GB for a cheap price, is it good?


While searching I found an AMD FX 6300 Black Edition 3.5GHz 14MB BOX SKAM3+, dunno if that's good or not, I don't know much about AMD.



A case + processor (AMD FX 6300) + GeForce GT640 + 8GB Ram + HDD 1TB = 337,7€.


Am I missing anything?

An FX 6300 isnt bad. You might want to get a better graphics card though. Maybe try a 7770. It's cheap and fast.

intel always will be better  

[Calvingreen17.]

And more expensive.

He wants a build for 450 euro so AMD is better/cheaper for him

[Calvingreen17.]

And more expensive.

The best price / performance ratio from Intel is a i5, and that's already $200 + so.

When buying motherboard check for several things
Cheaper it is, usually lower quality it is.
Future proofing? You might want that 4 slots for ram instead of 2.
Can it support new hardware when it comes?
does the N/B have any heatsink on it?
Does it have enough SATA ports for current use and later upgrades
Does it have enough USB ports?
Think what you might need in future from motherboard and go with it.

The one I found has 6xSATA 3GB/s ports
10xUSB 2.0 ports
4 slots for RAM
1xPCIe 2.0 x16
2xPCIe 2.0 x1
3xPCI


Plus with more specs that I can post here if needed

you should get motherboard and CPU thatsupports PCIe 3.0  Radeon 7000 series needs it and so does 500 and 600 series i think.

I'll have to check what motherboards and CPUs that support that tomorrow when I'm on my laptop. Thanks!

Most of socket 1155 and newer socket CPUs supports PCIe 3.0 itself. you just need motherboard that has PCIe 3.0 16x slot
