What could run cs;go, rust, rocket league, tf2 at, at least 60 fps in each game (tf2 should be easy obv)

 

His budget can range from $1000-$2500 (AUD) but he doesn't need anything "SUPER GOOD" he just wants the games to run at 60 fps

Apart from inside the computer parts, he Might need a moniter, doesnt need a mouse, needs a keyboard, and windows 10

This should work very well for those games. If he really doesn't want to play other games you could get something for quite a bit less. You can get Windows 10 for ~$20 on sites like kinguin.net and monitors for under $100 (USD) on Craigslist.

You can run those games at 60 fps for like 600$ jesus

 

in any case this is the part list I use, runs about 1k including monitor + peripherals: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gNTQpg

can run any game at 60fps, save the few god tier games (Arma 3, ARK) which will give it an fps drop

It specializes in overclock, but I doubt your friend knows how to do that so might make a more beginner build which doesnt overclock

1. Edited the post to have AUD prices.

 

2. Cool, that's a bit more money he's saving.

 

3. This should run 99% of games at 60+ fps at medium to ultra settings.

Quick Note, the below does NOT take Rust into account as I don't know the specifics about the game (and am too lazy to look into it right now). 

 

In the games he'll be playing a Pentium G3258 is just as good as an i7-6700k. The games he's playing only leverage 1-2 cores and are extremely lightweight games. So he has to decide whether he wants to go the cheap, but good enough route, or the better but way overkill (for those specific games but much better for many others). And that's not a question you nor I can answer. Although, I would personally say spend a bit extra money and get into the sweet spot for performance and at least leave the door open for other options (i5 + R9 380 or higher). 

 

Here are three options:

 

Option #1

If he ONLY cares about the listed games and won't be doing any streaming or anything else while playing these select few games.

 
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($95.00 @ CPL Online) 
Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($69.00 @ Centre Com) 
Memory: G.Skill Value 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($49.00 @ PLE Computers) 
Storage: Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($69.00 @ CPL Online) 
Video Card: Asus Radeon R7 370 2GB Video Card  ($205.00 @ CPL Online) 
Case: Cooler Master N300 ATX Mid Tower Case  ($56.00 @ Umart) 
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($79.00 @ PCCaseGear) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)  ($139.00 @ CPL Online) 
Monitor: BenQ GL2460HM 60Hz 24.0" Monitor  ($199.00 @ CPL Online) 
Total: $1029.00
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Option #2

A far superior option to the first as it gives him a quad core and a FAR more powerful GPU to be able to handle any game -- currently this system would be able to run current AAA titles at 60fps~ on high settings. 

 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($279.00 @ CPL Online) 
Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($69.00 @ Centre Com) 
Memory: G.Skill Value 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($49.00 @ PLE Computers) 
Storage: Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($69.00 @ CPL Online) 
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon R9 380 4GB PCS+ Video Card  ($299.00 @ CPL Online) 
Case: Cooler Master N300 ATX Mid Tower Case  ($56.00 @ Umart) 
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($79.00 @ PCCaseGear) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)  ($139.00 @ CPL Online) 
Monitor: BenQ GL2460HM 60Hz 24.0" Monitor  ($199.00 @ CPL Online) 
Total: $1307.00
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Option #3 
An even more powerful option, and even more overkill, but will also last longer due to being overclockable (and a newer generation -- although keep in mind that even the original core-i series from 2010~ is good enough in most modern games) and having an even more powerful GPU....One thing to keep in mind with this build is that he may want to consider a 6700k just to "max" out the CPU since he's already spending $1800 what's an extra $150 (although to be clear, right now you will basically see the same performance in 99% of games) or going with a Xeon E3 v5 instead (about the same cost as a 6600k) and a cheaper motherboard has that will give him the performance of a locked i7-6700. Which route is better will come down to personal opinion/how you want to bet the gaming market will go -- i.e. is 4 stronger cores better than 8 weaker threads (4 cores)? Likely it won't really matter and both will yield similar results, but no one can say for certain. 
 
so yeah, it will ultimately come down to what your friend wants from his money. 

 
CPU Cooler: be quiet! PURE ROCK 51.4 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  ($45.00 @ PCCaseGear)

Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 390 8GB SOC Video Card  ($499.00 @ CPL Online)

Personally I would be leaning towards option #2 or #3, but I also like to have a top notch system even when I know I don't really need it...But if he's confident that he doesn't care about other games now or in the future, then option #1 can save him quite a bit of money -- with that said, there is an option in between #1 and #2 that is a much better 'budget' system than #1, and that would consist of an i3 and an R9 380, but again, at that point I would just assume spend the $50~ more and get an i5.
