Hi guys a mate of mine is looking to build a Pc that will be able to run Cs go (I know it doesn't take much) and maybe play a few games at 1080 at a decent frame rate , just looking for some options to choose from. 

 

Your views are welcome. 

 

Thanks,

Here you go! This can run CS:GO at max settings plus it can play the latest games no problem.

Your welcome! you don't need a Z97 mobo since you cant overclock the CPU and a H81 mobo wont let you use the front USB 3.0 of any cases and has a low feature set. A B85 mobo in my opinion is the BEST middle ground. Aftermarket CPU cooling is not required but will help keep your CPU cool, maybe your friend can get one in the future. Also you can just add a SSD down the road, for now a hard drive for mass storage is enough for your friend's needs for a long time. I love the case I picked personally hehe good luck to your friend.
