This is what I would personally do. For any reason on why I chose certain parts just ask.

Lets get three off by back now.

That Kingston SSDNOW v300 is very very slow.

120mm AIOS are not worth it and the thermal paste is not needed.

The power supply is much more reliable.

Yes and no. Medium-low games like CS:GO yes. GTA V, Shadow of Mordor, ect expect like 80-100FPs On decent settings with the drops. Also, I do not like 144hz 1080p since they are all TN panels.

Confused... Why buy him a 980ti, and you get his 970? I don't see why you'd get the bad end of the stick on that deal...

I understand the love thing but atleast make him pay for some of that 980ti. Sounds like he's taking advantage of the whole relationship.

A 980ti is super expensive!!!

A i7 makes no significant changes compared to the i5 for gaming. The difference in performance is not worth the extra $100 and the i5 can still be overclocked.

Rendering Videos, twitch streaming, ect. If you plan on doing heavy editing ect.

For gaming, light editing, photoshop ect, the $100 difference is not worth it.
