Going with an A10 7700k + 2400mhz memory should game reasonably well, apparently nice power supplies are fairly expensive on the german part picker, so no modularity, bit of a pain in an ITX build.

There's plenty of room for him to save up for a higher end GPU like a 380 or 390 rather than a 950.

You could shave down a bit of the budget by going with a micro ATX motherboard if you really need to get it down.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
