So my friend made a build which seems a bit too much for what he's getting.

 

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/x4DQQV

 

Mainly gonna use it for gaming and recording, editing videos. Since it's for editing videos the cpu must be good?

His budget is £1200, and gonna be playing games such as csgo (I know a toaster can run it), battlefield, overwatch, GTA v, etc.

 

Thanks in advance

1. The TDP of PSU is less but the system also draws less power check the estimated wattage it is 349W so take 400-420 as the worst scenario but it won't draw that much but still the PSU is having some headroom left.

 

2. Then skip the SSD.

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).
