Your friend has pretty deep pockets...

 i was thinking the same thing :D

 

1000w is overkill if he's planning to stick with one gpu. Or he can go for SLI maybe

For the Cpu cooler i would recommend the swiftech h220

I7 4770K - @4.5Ghz  |  Be quiet Dark Rock Pro 3  | Asus Maximus VII Ranger Z97  | Kingston Genesis 8GB | Be quiet Power Zone 750w   | Sapphire R9 Fury X |  Sandisk SSD 120Go + WD Green 1TB 7200 rpm | Nzxt Phantom 410

Yeah, I was thinking of saying that 1000 watts is overkill for pretty much everything. Even with a 3930k and a Titan, you dont need the extra wattage.

the price difference between the 850 watt and the 1000 watt was 20 euro so he though what the hell anyway.

the h220 is hard to get in ireland and i really dont want to order from a different continent

Maybe add more RAM? and make sure the RAM is quad channel.

 

I'm not sure how demanding 3D rendering and editting is, so maybe not.

He has 4x8GB RAM. How much more you have in mind?! :)

Sorry if my English is not perfect, but it isn't my native language :)
