Hello :) your English is fine, don't worry. Hope I can be of help.

What will your friend be doing on the computer? Would help so I can highlight certain components for his needs.

CPU: Intel i3 3220/3225 or a FX 6000 series.

Motherboard: Gigabyte B75

RAM: Corsair XMS3/Vengeance 8GB (1600MHz)

GPU: GTX 650 Ti / 7850

PSU: Seasonic 520/Corsair CX500

HDD: Seagate 500GB

SSD: Samsung 840/Intel 330 64GB (Not a necessity)

Case: Corsair 200r

Not sure if the above fits his budget, but good luck :)

Thanks for your answer =)

The Pc is used for Gaming and Homework etc. It will be his first PC

The Pc i Build is exactly at the Budget of 600€ and i cant go much higher so i dont think i can fit a ssd in ther.

First i thought of going with a 7850 and use an SanDisk SSD but i think spending the 50€ into the gpu is better and if he want an SSD later he can still buy it by his own =)

I showed my brother some cases and he likes the Zalman Z9 the most i think this most importent =) and the zalman Z9 isent a bad case i think.

And can you tell me why you go with the parts you choose?

Edit: Something else i read it is better to use 2x4gb instead of 1x8gb ram is this right ?

Yes a dual channel 2x4gb kit is better than a single 8gb stick
