Hows this look?

[Number 29]

So like I posted yesterday my friend is wanting me to build him a pc for his birthday and this is what i came up, he said he had a budget of 750 dollars and he was able to go a little over it depending how much it is. This is what I came up with; http://pcpartpicker.com/user/pc101201/saved/fjjNnQ

 

He isn't looking to OC or anything he mostly wants to play League of Legends and later get into more demanding games like BF4 later down the road as well as livestream sometimes with using two monitors so I picked the 280 because it's better than the 270x and performs a little better in games and it fit the budget pretty well.

 

Let me know what you guys think.

id say get a locked i5, games like lol are really cpu intensive, and if you're sticking with the 8320 get 970a-d3p or a 990fx chipset (your current board worries me)

Edit I didn't read the OP Post hurrr durrr

Do you have a recommendation for a locked i5?

A bit over but it's worth it

I'm trying to get the build to have a base cost of around ~$775 including the OS DISK. :l

I also have this one, however I had to stick to the 6300 to stay within a decent budget range, he wants the base total to stay around 750 and I think this is as far as he wants to spend over it. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/pc101201/saved/8sbCmG

Okay, so I talked to him and he said that the budget range is fine for this, how does it look? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/pc101201/saved/8sbCmG

 

EDIT: also do I have to update the BIOS before using the cpu?

i have both cpu and mobo and they are fine didnt need to update bios, but i still think the i5 is a better choice
