That's as close as I could get to $400 with an i5. I'm sure the gpu could be moved around but I'm not 100% sure what to move it to, Rot will chime in with some details.

What currency is your budget in?

Good luck with $400. Don't be a cheapo. You will have to really cut out the GPU for an i5 CPU. Save up some more, and then spend the money. You are only shooting yourself in the hip if you want a $400 PC. You might as well buy a console with that money.

Not everyone can just magic up the funds to splash out on a very expensive computer. Along with the fact you said he should just get a console.. No. What if he wanted to play games with mod packs that a console just simply doesn't allow? What if he wanted to play newer PC only exclusives? What if he wants to at some point in the future begin with the other hundreds of uses a PC offers, would his console provide that? No. That statement was pretty irrelevant and didn't help whatsoever.

He could simply play with an iGPU until he manages to buy a decent GPU in the future.

He wants an intel core i5. In order to get one of those and a decent GPU he will be going over budget.

AMD $400 build would be nice

I never said $400 is impossible. For what he wants, it is.

I was going to post this but I was in a LoL game intermission and forgot about it because the game started. No need to attack me and be a hypocrite. I was giving advice, which is totally relevant.

Guys you don't know if he means GBP or Dollars so there is no point even speculating.

That's a lie. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
He will add a dedicated GPU when he has the money. Otherwise, get a G3258 and something like a 260x.

Although, as HALP said, he hasn't even specified his currency yet. If it's GBP, something like this;

Add 4GB RAM when you can. Try to go £10 or so over budget to swap the 260x for an R9 270 if possible.

Next time fill in this

What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?

And look at this before posting..

Anyway, heres a suggestion if you with GBP

Us ethe IGPU until you can afford a deciated GPU.

Add another 4GB of ram.

Add another HDD more mass storage

edit: Rot beat me to it,

400$? Are you nuts? Thats redicuously low. Save some more money. Get a job if possible. Im 16 and built mine over the summer and now its around 1200 worth of a setup. (Three monitors <3) Your requirements are very high for such a low budget. So dont get all pissy when you find that your machine cant run all games on high.
