New Build 1,400$

[LesGensMentales]

This build is for a friend in Virginia that is looking to get a proper gaming PC that,

- Doesnt need an SSD(Ive explained the benefits of an SSD to him and he doesnt care.)

- Should have a Window but is not required

- Has a green bitfenix alchemy LED light strip if the case has a window

- Has WiFI capability, preferably dual band 802.11ac

 

 

So anyway, the current parts list is here: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/LesGensMentales/saved/Rz448d

 

Im open to all suggestions on how to improve this build before the parts are bought. They should be ordered around the 30th of July so no rush. And also I am supplying him with an H100i that I have left over from a previous build. So try not to include a CPU cooler in any revisions made. 

 

 

 

Extra details:

- Budget: 1400$ with 7% NJ tax or No Tax if ordering from NCIXUS

- Region: US-East

- Preferred Merchants: Amazon, Newegg, Microcenter, NCIXUS

- Peripherals are not needed. Only the PC itself. He already has a monitor, keyboard, etc. 

- This build will be used for web browsing, gaming, and pretty much no content creation at all.

I just cannot understand why he wouldn't want an SSD.

I'd get a cooler for that system, at least a CM 212 EVO.

You don't really need a Z97 board if you're not getting an overlcockable processor, H97 will perform the same. And you could save a bit and go with a WD blue instead of black.
