PC for a friend

[Marcus Kemp]

So I would like to ask you guys for a comparison for a computer that I will be building for a friend. If you could build a PC using pcpartpicker that would be great. So the only requirements are that it must include an i5 or equivalent CPU, micro atx  mobo or smaller, fairly small case, keyboard, mouse, headphones, wifi card (pci-e), and red is the theme. IMO every color detail counts wether you can see it or not. Any suggestions would also help. So far the GPU and CPU I have paired is a 4690k and a gtx 960, the mobo is also overclock friendly. The power supply is Antec EarthWatts 550w. Although this person will not be overclocking, I would like to give them the opportunity to do so. Try to keep the build around 1600$ but if it goes higher it's fine. I would say 2000$ is the max like the very limit nothing more at all.

This build will crush the current one that you're thinking about...
