I think the graphics card is overkill tbh and a saving on that could mean you can afford an i7 maybe? or a bigger SSD which I also recommend after buying a 120GB

Your gaming at 1080p right? A 780 is a waste of money. Really a 770 is all you need for the ultimate 1080p rig.

I think it's a solid choice in GPUs right now. Probably the best one to have right now, the Titan is overkill if you ask me.

"Cut back on GPU to afford a better CPU" Lolno.

The build is fine as it is. A better CPU would be utterly pointless but the difference between a 770 and a 780 will be noticeable.

Not overkill.  Depends what he wants to use it for.

A 680 is perfectly fine for running at 1080p - I do it and I can also live stream at the same time whilst maintaining 100 - 120 fps.  If he wants a 780 ready for upcoming games (Which he possibly might do?) then let him.  It's not a waste of money.

 

EDIT:

 

Love the monitors.  Boarderless?  Wish I'd of thought of them before I bought mine haha.
