Or you could do it for him. ;)

 

I really wouldnt want my friend to mess up, and add .350 V to his Vcore instead of adding .350 Mhz to his multiplier. xD

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

This should give you some nice performance and he could even do some streaming if he wants. You would need more Ram for anything else.

 

Edit: OS was included, ill leave it just for legality (lol-im just too lazy haha)

Here you go: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1BWLr

2 120mm's in front and 1 each at  bottom and rear. Replace the Kraken's fans with the quieter 140mm's or just leave them to save money--up to you.
