Alright so a friend of mine is building a new PC and wants to do a final check.

 

The main purpose of this build is going to be gaming. He has 2 1080p monitors, one which he will be gaming on and the other will only be used for browsing.

 

Budget: 900$

 

These are the parts he picked;

No overclocking will be done, and he already has the storage drives.

 

 

If you have any suggestions for this build be sure to let me know,

Thanks

Thx for the suggestion SAV1OUR, one small detail, he wants to buy parts which he can order on PRIME.

I5 is better for gaming so I would suggest to stick with the I5. As for the R9 290 change though I completely agree. It's about the same price and gives a lot more performance. I would suggest either the Powercolor PCS+ one or Sapphire Tri-x though, they are quite simply better than gigabyte, MSI, etc. Also a 650W is overkill for an I5 4690 and an R9 290. 550W is more than enough.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861
