Gaming Build

[Alex98171]

Hi there so my cousins birthday is coming up and his PC got fried. I decided i could get him a gift to cheer him up so i put together a build optimized for gaming all the new titles like Far Cry 4 and some old titles like GTA San andreas. I need your opinion is this good or not ? I would like to get him a Red and black color because he likes that color so if you make any changes make sure its red/black. Also i would like to keep this build under 1000$ USD so yeah. Thanks for your time.
