New PC for best friend

My best friend wants a new pc. A couple years ago he did a prebuild order with a gtx 770 and a intel i5. This time he wanted to go bigger and had a budget of $1500. I told him this time lets do custom and I will build it for you and ship it. We ordered everything we needed off amazon and I am throwing in some of my spare parts for free. What do you guys think. I prebuilt one to compare to what he is getting from me.

I went with 4 core skylake instead of 6 because he doesn't multi task. Do you think this is the right choice?

Yes, the 6 core stuff is only useful if he wants to edit vids and render and stuff.

Yea I think with a 280 mm rad I can get more single core performance out of an overclocked 6700k. Anyone have experience overclocking these? What clockspeeds am I looking at with a corsair H110i?

I dont have experience in overclocking them at all but I would say it would stay stable at 4.5GHz minimum easy.

That's what I am hoping. I just don't have a ton of time to mess with it so I wanna dial in something safe and tweak it later. I am thinking 4.2-4.3 and no voltage changes if I get the right chip.

Good idea. Good luck with that :)
