This comes with a 120gb SSD and a GTX 750 Ti 2gb graphics card


This is $10 over your limit

He'd be better off with a standalone CPU with the ability to add a card that isn't entry level than to have a low end CPU and GPU. Wouldn't go with that monitor either.

Yes, the integrated graphics won't be as good as the 750 Ti but buying that build would be a mistake imo as you will be able to add a much better GPU into my build at a later date, but integrated graphics can run CS:GO, Minecraft and similar games at decent settings with ~60Fps.

Thats why he said add a gpu when you can

also is an ssd necessary?
if it really increases performance than illprob get it but just wantto know if it is necessary

Not necessary but it makes your gaming experience so much better (and faster ;) )

For $613, you get an amd fx 8350 which is an 8 core processor,a MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB TWIN FROZR gpu, no ssd on this build but add one when you can

Once again, not worth getting a discrete GPU as integrated graphics will be fine for his needs... CPU socket has no upgrade path.

Its really up to him, im just trying to help here.

No, he would not be better using an i5's iGPU instead of a dedicated GPU. An APU rig would make more sense than an i5 with no GPU.

Not even remotely true.

Obviously a dedicated GPU would be better; but going with an i5 iGPU over an entry level card is a better option.
