PC for my friend any suggestions ?

Hello a classmate of mine want's a tower. Hes using a Laptop right know.

He want's to to stream league of legends and triple a titles.

in the future he plants to buy a capture card but for know just the tower. 

 

His Budget is 1500€ (+ 100€ if need be.) 

No peripherals needed.

He has no knowledge about over clocking so do I.

 

The Case he likes to use is atx aerocool ds 200 (

 

I recently bought a asus's gtx 970 strix but he also thinks about a gtx 980. 

Whats better for his needs ? Do you have a idea ? 

If possible it should be quiet and upgradeable.

 

Thank you in advance !

 

Updathe

He needs an os too. but win 7 should be enough ass he will be upgrading to win 10 when it is out. 

and i although forgot to mention he will use two monitors but only one to game and no 4K stuff.

That is good to know that 1080p needs only the gtx 970.

 

I think 8 gig of ram is fin but my friend asks if 16 gig would be a benefit or just wasted money as he will stream and maybe for that, needs to do some video editing. 

 

The budget would allow for 16 gig of ram, but I never needed more than 8 gig

 

The rest is superb. Thank you a lot !

Considering that video rendering is not his focus, 16gbs shouldn't be needed. If he'll do some serious video works, with a lot of transitions, then he may as well get it.

 

At any rate, it's easier to upgrade RAM later than other parts, so leave it at 8gbs for now.
