My friend is saving up for a gaming computer, said he wanted to spent around 2000 NZD and this is what I came up with: https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/dKKQHN

Wondering if theres anything I should change or anything. Like is it worth spending the extra hundred or two on a 1080 as opposed to a 1070. Also I don't know a lot about motherboards although I'm pretty sure this is perfect.

I would go for a ryzen 1600. For the gpu, it depends on what resolution he's playing at and the refresh rate of the monitor.

I would suggest waiting for the release of vega which should be really soon. You should get better price to performance once they are out and nvidia has reacted or get vega if they are better,

 yeah I'd go with this, although personally I'd drop to a 1tb and bump the ram to 3000mhz due to ryzen performing very well with higher clocked memory. It is almost exactly what I'm running in my system except that I'm using a 1070 but I only got that because my friend was selling it for very cheap compared to what you can get nowadays
