Hi everyone!

 

My friend is gonna buy a pc, and I convinced him to build one himself. I'm gonna help him (read: I'm gonna build it for him), but it is also one of the first times I build a pc, so I need some tips.

 

Is this build good? http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/KrLKVn

He's gonna play CS:GO and League of Legends.

 

He's buying the GPU from me, and the other components will have links below here:

I would say get better ram but it's not a windowed case and I would say get a different PSU but he's getting it from you. Other then that great build, He could if wanted, could make the build more silent based and get some cheap air cooler like a BeQuiet! Pure rock if it's available or something of equal or greater value.

No he's only getting the GPU from me, all the other parts are new, and hes only got about 700 euros to spend

If it is possible i think its best to get a dual channel RAM, not sure thought if it makes a difference

FX-8350 GTX760 16GB RAM 250GB SSD + 1TB HDD
