ah sorry it didnt show up 

does your friend want to overclock im guessing not but just thought i might ask

also if your using the ssd as bootdisk you wouldnt need a 500gb ssd a 250gb wod be mroe then enough unless he plans on installing alot of software.

if he is happy with it then yeah your good to go all the parts will work fine shouldnt have any problems just dont forget the cost of windows if it is to be in the total cost

it didnt show up bcos i forgot but then i edited :P

 

and yeah he doesnt not have any clue what overclocking is soo...

since i have the budget and he has a lot of games, so i thought why not 500gb (btw i dont get this weird 524GB size)

and he would take care of the windows

 

TY for ur opinion

why? is the wattage not enough or the efficiency

Efficiency or Wattage don't mean actual quality. 

 

What else can you get?

ah no problem if he has lots of cameras are you able to get a 2tb drive then, i dont have many but iv almost filled up a 500gb drive 

dont worry about the 524 its weird but its close enough wont be a problem.

 a different power supply isnt to big of a problem its got more then enough watts to handle his rig and its from a well know brand so he should be good with it

I'd suggest you go for a Gold rated PSU. The rest of the setup looks pretty nice.

 

Also, if your friend would like to OC in the future you'd need a Z motherboard and a K CPU, but I assume you know that already.

I have created a build for my friend whose budget is 1600 euros. If u guys have any suggestions for any change, then please let me know.

 

Heres the list - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2yBP9W

 

Much appreciated

Since he is not going to OC, maybe you can change to CPU air cooler instead. SSD just get like 250GB or so, not alot of games will benefit when put in SSD. Save the money from the CPU cooler and smaller SSD and purchased a bigger HDD as well as better PSU which the rest has recommended.

he has no idea what overclocking is and he lives in a different country so i cant help him 

he should consider air cooling if he has no idea what hes doing.

 

Air cooling should perform the same as an h60 and its cheaper to replace a broken fan rather than a broken pump/radiator.

Oh ok. You mentioned that he has a lot of games. So I was thinking 1TB might not be enough for everything. If he can stretch his budget by some, then yes get a better PSU. The rest seems awesome.
