Go With a i7-4790k, that GTX 970 and a ASUS z97-A. I use a ASUS z97-A and 4790k (As seen below) and both are fantastic.

My System has a Intel Core i7 4790k @4.5ghz Cooled by A Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO With a MSI Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz Memory.

If you aren't going to render/edit/etc. don't waste the money on the i7. The i5 might be a difference of 2 fps in games and can surely browse the internet easily. The i5 is the definite choice.

If you'll going to get a H81 mobo get a non overclockable CPU so a 4790k which shaves 20 bucks off. So, the top option. 

even more so if he gets the 1241 which has more features (none that you would care about) and is even cheaper

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
