Hey is this PC good enough  a friend wanted me to make one

Try this,

i5 6700 with a 390, but more importantly a board capable of future crossfire with a second 390 later on, as well as decent overclocking if he ever upgrades to like a kaby lake i7

Otherwise your cooler there is a bit out of place, that motherboard I can't imagine is going to overclock too well, you'd be better off just ditching it and upping the CPU to an i7 for the same money.

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

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

thanks guys

The PSU you chose is not good,

You have a unlocked CPU with a mobo not designed for overclocking.
