SPEC build for a $400 budget MB/RAM/CPU.[solved]

[piscian18]

I'm doing a gaming build as a present for a Friend. My budget is $400 or less. The goal is playable Battlefield V on 1080P.

No OC ever needed. Videocard is GTX1060. He'll never do dual card.

Basically I'm a little out of date but from what Ive read the AMD 2600 is the best value right now, but I can go intel too.

Can anyone talk me into cheaper parts or tell me if this is a bad direction? $400 is right around my max.

Ryzen 5 AMD 2600
Asus - ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING ATX AM4
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory

Per my signature I have two of this exact same build except my strix is an itx and I have 1050ti's instead of a 1060

You can't go wrong with this build!

Gaming PC - R5 2600, 16gb 3200, 1050ti, 500gb M.2 Sata (2 of these)

You can save a few bucks with this combo deal most likely. Not sure of the cost of those parts individually at different retailers.

Looks perfect to me. Spring for the 2600X if you want it to boost a bit higher with a slightly better cooler, as a better 'set and forget' chip. The 2600s value is in it's lower TDP (for running at stock), or cheaper price overall if you plan to OC/already have a cooler you'll use anyway to replace the stock regardless.
