Just wondering what components would be best for this guy.

 

He says he wants to play BF4.

 

I was thinking about to build a system for him with SLI and core i5  (because rumor says its the best for gaming, i5 that is)

 

His budget is 2100 dollars roughly. including case

 

So far I have chosen

 

- CM Storm Trooper Gaming Big Tower.

 

for best cooling

 

Feel free to summon up some great systems

 

THX alot!

 

In the mean time I will read further on systems
