So a friend of mine asked me to help him pick out the parts for his new PC and this is what I have come up with 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6G3s6h

 

This is what he left me with

"any size, price would have to be below $2,500 and I prefer darker colors, like Grey or Black. I don't think i will overclock, unless that's what you reccomend I do." "oh can you make sure I can eventually add another graphics card? Down the line I might have to to keep current."

1440p to 4k and no peripherals needed 

Intel i7-4790 | Gigabyte z97x G7 | MSI 980TI | G.Skill Ripjaw Sniper 32GB 2400Mhz | Segate 2TB SSHD/Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD | Phanteks Enthoo Pro

Looks good, but id go for an m.2 950 pro instead of the 850 pro sata ssd, those m.2s are stupid fast (and hey, he does have 2 slots on that board, so you could even get enother one down the line).

 

Also overclock it for him to 4.6 or 4.7 and set up the fan curves, its so easy nowadays you might just give him the extra performance.
