I'm planning a build for my friend. He wants a build for ~$900 that can run pretty much any game on high settings. I think did pretty good so far, but i'm a bit worried about the cpu cooler and the PSU, seeing as I had to get pretty much the cheapest options available. Any recommendations on parts?

Because you've chosen a 7600K you should go with a Z270 motherboard.

Because you've gone with a 'K' CPU which means it can be overclock, you can only overclock on 'Z' motherboards.

Btw we're bringing components from his old pc, such as his hard drive. So storage isn't necessary
