build Gaming build for friend

[Tjubes]

HI guys,

So a friend of mine is building a PC and I thought that it would be a good idea to first check the build on here .

The build will be used for playing games such as H1Z1, LoL, CS:GO and Rust, he probably will also play newer games in the future so keep that in mind.
It'd be a nice addition if the PC would be able to record/edit videos, but that is not necessary.

The budget is around 900€.
Any tips are welcome and thanks in advance everyone!

Here's the build:

Id say go 6600k because the difference money wise aint to big otherwise yea good build tho i see no point in 16 gb ram but ok and ssd would be sweet to add since the os can become alot more snappier

it looks good, but why two 8gb sticks of RAM? 8gb is fine for gaming, and is cheaper. Also, swap that 970 for an R9 390. Maybe add an SSD?

Well, my friend doesn't want to overclock and since he won't have to buy the cooler it will save him like 80€ which he can maybe use to buy an ssd.

oww shit i messed up i did not see that you skipped cooler derp  but yes ssd it is and 16gb is not neccesary id say buy 2x4 sticks instead and he will save a bit of money and just go for ssd for the rest off the money

I saw some people saying 16GB of ram is handy and I think it will make the build a bit more 'future compatible/proof'.

The case has bad cable management, but I'll definitely keep the ssd in mind.

Also, what about the different PSU? Think the difference with that PSU and the EVGA SN GS will be a lot after reading some reviews.

Dunno, looks pretty awesome to me.

Edit: I've used the Neos in builds before and you're right, the cable management isn't awesome, but it gets the job done and the dust filters are nice also.

Sure, the system will pull around 300 Watts from the wall.

costs a bit more. But you would essentially be looking at near GTX 980 performance on the GPU side.....
