Need a little help with parts!

Hello LTT forum!

Its been a while since I was last on here and I've lost touch with the community a little but the time has come to build another PC!

This is for a friend of mine in college, this is what he needs:

- Under $1,400

- Includes decent monitor

- Micro-ATX at most (college dorms are small)

- needs ssd and at least 2TB of total storage

- needs to look decent (side panel window, no crazy flashy lights)

 

The main purpose of this build is to be a gaming/work PC, don't try to stuff the craziest card possible into it but don't go super weak either. He said the hardest to run game he will be playing is probably the new doom, it does not have to run at max settings though.

 

Could someone just throw a build together in PCPP? I used to be really good at this but I'm out of touch with the times.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys, ill probably go with @Starelementpokes build and use the processor and ram from @ShrDcs build cause I know he doesn't need 32 gigs of ram and an i7 is more for workstation applications, I know an i5 wouldn't bottleneck him at all.

Just notice that the processor in my build was a 6600k,  and the motherboard in @Starelementpoke is a non-z motherboard, so you should probably use a z170 motherboard there.
