Hey guys! Im trying to help a friend with a new build. He had a budget of 900 max but wants to stay around 800. He needs a network adapter, a monitor, and keyboard and mouse. The rest he said was up to me. He wants to play games like Farcry 4, Payday 2, and Battlefield 4. I was thinking i5 4460 and gtx 970 if we can fit it in. What do you guys think?

Go with my build.  It's relatively small and should max out most games at 1080p.
