This APU will do fine playing those simple games but if he decides to play more graphically intensive games he can throw in a graphics card. However the apu can handle some games fairly well [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You'll need to download your OS from somewhere and make a bootable USB or something to install it.

What I meant, was that if you need a key to validate your OS, buy one from reddit instead of paying the ridiculous retail price of $100 or so.

Get a 6 core CPU for $7 more, way more worth it.

He if has a budget of $400, why would you go using a integrated graphics card? Disapproved of your post for that reason, and because you added in a quad core, even though he could get a 6 core for nearly $7-8 more.

My build would get the job done.

Another option you could consider is a Skylake i3 rig, it has a stronger CPU, but a lesser 4GB of RAM, although another stick is a mere $20 which I am sure you could find in no time.
