1080p 120/144hz

[Semper]

Long version:

It's been a while since I've built a system (late 2014 to be exact), and I haven't been keeping up with builds much since then, particularly budget builds.

A cousin of mine came to me (Quite literally like 15 minutes ago, so I'm scrambling a bit) potentially wanting to pick up parts for his first build during the Black Friday sales, so, I'm putting together a list for him. Problem is, he's not currently home right now (half way across the world to be a little more accurate), and all communication is being done through text, when he has service and/or internet access (which is intermittent). I can't get a defined budget from him (the last message he sent was "as cheap as it can be"), so unfortunately, I can't give you guys a budget either.

 

-----

TL;DR:
Family member first-time build, unknown ("cheap as possible") budget. No overclocking, no water cooling.

 

-----

Budget: Unknown ("as cheap as possible" - read above for more if you skipped it), considering it a budget build.
Location: US
Workload: Gaming (primarily), potential light (word processing) schoolwork on the side [Business/marketing] (he has a laptop for this already however)
Output: Single monitor, 1080p 120hz goal.
Peripherals: Mouse, Keyboard (Membrane/mechanical is unknown, but I will be encouraging mechanical.), Windows 10, all necessary.

-----

 

This is what I've come up with. Any rebuilds/recommendations/any input at all is welcomed and appreciated! A mixture of new and used parts may come to pass (hence the 2600 instead of 3600), but again, all input is welcome!

That looks good, remember you can get W10 key for cheap from eBay etc, if you do so, you could replace the 2600 with a 3600 since you picked a MAX motherboard and they are 3rd gen ready
