Son's New Build

[jben04]

So,heres the deal,my son was saving his hard earned cash to buy the XboxOne,and now he decided he wants to build a gaming computer ( well,wants me to do it for him lol)
At the moment hes using a Dell Dimension E521.
He wants to be able to play ,minecraft, Skyrim and Call of duty, etc as well as use it for schoolwork,photoshop etc.
Already has a monitor and will not be playing in HD

Has a budget of $400 ( i told him if he buys the other parts ill buy him the GPU)
And this is what ive come up with :

Would it be wise grabbing a aftermarket cooler to go on that CPU,or would the stock one be good enough ?
Or is there anything i could improve on?
Thanks for the help guys

If running at stock that looks good. I wouldn't OC the 8-core on anything that doesn't have an 8+2 VRM though.

Other than that, looks like a great starter system.

What GPU did you plan to pair with it?

Actually i was looking at getting the ASUS R9 270x for my own pc,,so maybe the same for his,,or somthing like the GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB

If you can, I would try to swing a 760 for you and a 650Ti or 660 for him.
