Pc Build Help!

[manroop]

My cousin wants a gaming pc and told me to get the parts for him and this is what I got for him around his price range. He will be over-clocking of course.

I would like some opinions or suggestions about my build.

 

Thank you

Why a 4670k not a 4690k?

They are the same price, and the 90k is better...

They're not the same price. The 4690k is 30 CAD more.

Does he really need 512Gb SSD I'd rather go with 250Gb one, and 4690k (it overclocks better, and a CPU is more important than SSD for gaming...)

I'm not a novice man. Also I personally use 4TB of SSD storage and I have over 3tb filled up. 512gb isn't that much when a game can take 50 GB. Also yes I know that the 4690k overclocks better but it's not worth the extra price and a i5 4670k will be more than enough even at stock speeds.

I know you're not a novice But does he really need so much SSD if he's only gaming

 

Why not go with Crucial MX100 128 Gb, and go with 290x
