Hey guys what's up, my friend is finally buying his own PC after months of using his family PC which gets around 30 FPS on Counter Strike and many other games he frequently plays, and now he's looking to upgrade.
He says his budget is from around £600-£650, he doesn't need a Headset, Keyboard, Mouse or headset, he already has these. His main priority is to be able to run Counter Strike at around 200-300 FPS so that he can use his 144Hz monitor, whilst also being able to play other games like BF and Arma with respectable FPS.
He is looking for a build completely from scratch, so every single component, a CPU cooler wouldn't be needed as he ISN'T overclocking his CPU and also he has no need for a Sound Card. He's looking for a SSD to store his OS on with a Secondary HDD (Doesn't have to be SSD) To store his Program Files and Games on.
Hope you guys can help!

I am quite new to this as it is my first time suggesting a build it looks ok to me and will easily run the games required it also has crossfire support so in the future he can add a 2nd 380! But I'm sure other people like sanctyy will provide a better build this is just to give you an idea! This is a tiny bit over the budget if he can't go over it a bit then let me know!

Get wherever the motherboard is bought from to update it's BIOS for you, or just get an i5-4440 instead of the 4460 so that the mobo is officially compatible without a BIOS update. If you want, spend a bit extra for the S340, but the N200 will be fine. Enough space and PSU head room to add a 2nd 390 at any point.
