Hello my friend is wanting to build a computer

Budget- $2500<$3000      Currency- NZD       Aim- The main aim is to game and a little video rendering       The build needs no monitors nor Peripherals       The reason for upgrading is because his build cannot satisfy him

 

This is what I put together for him

Intel Core i5-4670k

 

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

 

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 12g Thermal Paste

 

ASRock Fatal1ty H87 Performance ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

 

G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

 

Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk

 

Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

 

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card

 

Raidmax Vampire ATX Full Tower Case

 

Corsair 760W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer

 

Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition 63.5 CFM 120mm Fan X3

 

 

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
 
 

 

 Anyway Thanks    also he does not want to water-cool and does want to sli in the future            

Any advice is welcome

Thanks Brandon
