Building for a friend

[amunj]

Hi, I'm building for a friend, and he wants the computer to cost between 10 000-15 000 NOK.

 

This is what I got so far:

 

 

You can see in the bottom right corner the total price.

 

Any suggestions?

 

He is going to use the computer for gaming, and maybe a little school work.

 

He wants a headset, mouse and keyboard to. So I have put of some money for that. But what keyboard, headset and mouse should I get him?

 

And a monitor off cource.

Well you need a power supply and NOK to USD confuses me

Is he going for aesthetics or something? Is that why you are going with MPower and Lightning? I think those would both look better in the black switch, btw, not the white one.

I had to change some stuff because I forgot about the monitor. But is this Motherboard and processor any good?

 

He is a beginner, so he wont be overclocking on it, but if he want to overclock, can he do it?

He wanted that case, I just picked a color for now, because he is going to choose the color himself.

Do you think it has to be an 1150 build, or should I go for 1155?

 

Because he wont care so long it's an i7.

I have tried to make it work now, and I'm pretty happy with this.

 

 

He is only missing a mouse, and if he chooses a cheap enough mouse he can maybe get a cheaper version of the 770.

The psu is overkill. You can run 2 760's in sli with a decent 650w. If you're not planning on sli, a decent 500w will be plenty.

Get the Samsung 840 (non-pro) 120GB. The performance difference is negligible.

Any z87 mobo will do fine for overclocking. Get the cheapest one. If you want to sli later, make sure it's sli ready.

I'm assuming you friend will be gaming off of the hdd. Get a Seagate barracuda 3TB or else you'll get slow loading times with the WD Green.

 

Also, why i7?
