So my one friend wants a gaming PC for Christmas and asked me to help pick out the parts. So I asked him what all he wanted and how much he would like to spend. He told me that he wants to spend $600 but doesn't mind if I'm $100-$200 over and he also needs a Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, and OS and doesn't mind how big or small the case is. This is what I got so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2vMgqs and I was thinking maybe you guys have a better idea for this build.
