Budget PC Build AGAIN!!!

Ok this is my second go at this basket. Purchase time is coming up, mate wants a PC for his Son under £700 (ish) tower only including windows, needs to run DayZ standalone.

this is what I have come up with, its gone 11 over budget, but I think ive got pretty good components throughout, a little low on disk space but he wont have much installed and he can always add a mechanical drive later. no dvd drive as I will use a usb one to install.

I would look for a second hand GPU to save a lot

As per my post in the other thread, you can free up more money for decent gfx and more ram if you use the bundled case/psu.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Asus H110M-K Intel H110 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard= £46.99
• 1 x Intel Core i5-6500 3.20GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £175.99
• 1 x Kingston Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C15 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (HX424C15FB2K2/1= £49.99
• 1 x Fractal Design Core 1000 Case & Super Flower 450W FX 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply Bundle= £48.95
• 1 x Corsair Force LE 240GB 2.5" SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive (CSSD-F240GBLEB)= £47.99
• 1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 Nitro 390 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Backplate (11244-01-20G)= £289.99
• 1 x Corsair AF120 Quiet Edition Low Noise High Airflow - Single Pack (CO-9050001-WW)= £11.99

This is the sort of thing I would go for. You may want to add a 92mm exhaust fan also. I would grab a Windows 7 Key online and do the free upgrade - you would still be in budget .

Edit: I should also point out that the new gpus from both vendors are out soon so it could be worth waiting a month or so on the gpu front.
