I'm building a gaming PC for a friend of mine on a budget ($600ish). He's used to playing games on an old AMD single-core processor from the 20th century and integrated motherboard graphics, so I'm sure he'll be blown away by anything I build, but I want to make sure he gets the most for his money. He plays TF2, Skyrim, Terraria, and Call of Duty.
I also want to make sure that this build has no compatibility issues. PSU, motherboard sockets, etc. If you think I can save money, get away with a lower wattage PSU, etc., then please let me know (Also, if possible, I would like to get all parts from Newegg to simplify shipping).
