Friend is doing a build and he asked me to help him out from there. So I call upon you lovely lads as backup.

 

What can you do with it?

[The Official Czex]

I'd get a Z97 board since he has an unlocked CPU.

 

Also, no to that PSU.

Can you recommend an air cooler? He doesn't want water cooling because he's a scrub.

Sound advice,

 

But be careful since often the bios can be a little over the top with it's default settings, don't forget to under-vault the CPU.
