I've asked before but the budget was 600 and I managed to get my friend up to 1000$ so this is the final build he wont go any higher.

Currency = CAD
Doesn't need anything else except the PC. Most graphic intense game he wants to run is probably fallout 4 with mods.

Heres what we have [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Z97 board with a locked 4590, nope. That PSU, nope. 212 Evo, nope. No SSD?

This is what I would get [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Should handle games fine, SSD for OS and a few games. Stock cooler will do fine.

Why would you want to remove the SSD?

If you don't want an ssd then here you go. Better processor, the 4gb version of the r9 380 instead of the 2gb, a better motherboard and in my opinion a better case [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Don't buy the above build... If you can afford an SSD, then 100% get one.

Personally, I would get this;

Because it needs to be able to run newer games at higher settings and I feel like there are things that will better impact gaming performance for $100 instead of an ssd

If anything, an SSD would improve gaming performance on newer, larger games. There are compromises that can be made elsewhere. A 380 will pretty much run any game fine at 1080p
