Hey guys

 

I am building a pc for a friend for a maximum of 1200 Bucks ( I live in Switzerland so the parts may be more expensive than in other countries). He wants to use it for work and gaming. I selected the parts and now would want to know if It's any good, since it's only my second build. Thanks a lot!  :)

 

Specs:ram:Crucial Ballistix Sport (2x, 4GB, DDR3-1600, DIMM 240)

HDD:WD Blue (1000GB, 3.5", Desktop)

SSD:Samsung 850 EVO Basic (250GB, 2.5")

CPU:Intel Core i5 4430 BOX (LGA 1150, 3GHz)

MOBO:ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER (LGA 1150, Z97, ATX)

GPU:ASUS GTX 960 STRIX (GM206, 2GB)$

Case:Fractal Define R4 - Black Pearl (Midi Tower)

Optical Drive:LG BH16NS, BluRay/DVD Brenner, SATA, Retail

PSU:be quiet! Straight Power E10 CM (500W)

WLAN: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800, Wireless N Dualband (PCI-E x1, 450Mbit/s)

I would suggest trying to get a 970 instead of a 960 for this type of a build. :)

Might be inclined to go for 8Gb of ram just as I know one of my older PCs is running 4gb of ram and that sits at around 3.5GB and my main rig has 8 but is using 4 with not a lot running. Also wouldn't be too bothered by a Blu-ray player unless your that desperate for one. Other than that pretty good choices :)
