It's a moderately good build. I'm going to use au.pcpartpicker.com for this to see if you can get it cheaper. 

I would avoid "gaming" keyboards if I were you. For that price, just get a mechanical keyboard.

BRB with the PCPartPicker thing.

looks pretty good to me, i would try and spring for a 770 though but thats a matter of opinion :)

i also forgot the cooler for da cpu can anyone recomend

[extremescouter]

Looks good, but if your friend can save up for the build some more, I would probably suggest going for an i5 4670k and maybe a 770, but the 760 is a great card.

Air or water?

Air or water?

what ever can fit in the case

[Vitalius]

Guys, I just realized, and correct me if I'm wrong, but that's an H87 chipset motherboard with an i3 3420 CPU.

H87 is haswel which is 4XXX series. Those aren't compatible. Right?

If he has the budget, get an i5 4670k and an h80i, or even a h100i. They will both fit in the case, and will cool the CPU quite well.

Get an I5 and a 760 instead.

I was wondering about that as well...

It's more expensive but it includes tax and shipping but it doesn't include the keyboard. Your current CPU/Mobo are incompatible. 

But don't trust PCPartPicker. It doesn't have a good selection of Aussie retailers to choose from apparently.
