I think this is a very good build for 850 dollars. Also if you want you can spend a bit more and get a mobo and cpu that can OC

OP you can go for cheaper $60-65 240GB SSD's(PNY CS1311 / OCZ Trion 150 / Adata SP550) and get 16gb memory.

I wouldn't go cheaper on the SSD. He can still afford 16 GB's of RAM with my build.

I forgot to mention that i also need a monitor for this build. And in newegv the msi gtx 1060 is 280.00. I was looking at the gpu and an acer monitor that is 144hz for 191.00 this build may be over a thousand which means ill work harder for it but its fine can you guys work with those parts?

It's not like any other SSD brands beside Samsung are total garbage.

 

The base total is $877 without the rebates and there's no OS so it's possible he might skimp a bit on some other parts if he wants 16gb.

Also if you have $170 right now, go ahead and get the monitor. It's $169 atm, and it rarely goes that low.
