The title says it all . My friend wants to build an i7 16GB RAM desktop including monitor and a mechanical keyboard (red/brown switches) with budget between $1900-$2100 AUD. All parts must be bought from http://www.mwave.com.au/ . The look of the desktop is really important to him and he will overclock . Thanks folks :).

 

Edit 1: Added more requirements.

I hope your friend knows not all of that is going to happen especially if you decide (for some unknown reason) to go with a single store.
