Building a PC for my friend Using a case i own.

[dobby240240]

First of all the case i have left from my previous build is an "Antec 900" with a 200mm fan in the top.

He wants to keep the pc around the £600 (GBP) mark. i have had a quick scan through parts on pc part picker and with quick searches this is what i have come up with.

While im looking more thoroughly at parts i have already chosen for him are there any suggestions you can give me or point me in a better direction?

He wants the PC for mostly gaming but also your average use, internet downloads blah blah but also he wants to have a go at music mixing. Like adding some decks and trying his hand at DJ'ing sometime down the line. (Would it be better with this build to just add a soundcard when he has more money for one?)

Thanks for the help i will try and answer as soon as possible if required to.

 

Last thing, any money saved without compromise to performance would be awesome (Not that i'd expect any less of you loveley people ;D )

I must point out that the i5 and the mobo especially where chosen very quickly as a kind of guideline to myself of prices and base to start with.

You don't need z97 motherboard if you take locked processor. Go with i5 4690K with Gigabyte GA-z97X and you'll be fine.
