Are peripherals needed or does your friend already have them?

^^^ Should drive even 1440p 144Hz ezpz, though I'd swap the NH-D15 for an NH-D15S, the S model is exactly the same but offset so it doesn't block the top PCIe slot on some mobos, and has a bit better RAM compatibility. Also, you can use Win10 without a license if you don't mind the watermark and stuff, otherwise grab a Win10 Pro OEM key off CDkey for $14 (being an OEM key you'll have to re-enter it if you swap the mobo at any point).

No point going Z370 with a $2K budget. I didn't include W10 because you can pick it up cheaper from a site that sells pc keys.

 

The psu is more than needed, but $69 after rebate is a good price.

Honestly there is no point in going for a 9700k in any budget. Once overclocked the 8700k and the 9700k are basically equivalent and the 9700k is more expensive.

Each to their own. I would rather have the extra cores and lose hyperthreading. Also bear in mind that the majority of Z370 boards won't handle a 9900K without throttling if the op's friend ever wanted to drop one in.

I mean they could opt for a z390 motherboard and a 8700k if they wanted to if that is the plan. I know I got a z390 for my 8700k simply because microcenter had alot better selection for z390 compared to z370. If the 9700k was the same price then I could see a reason to get it but at it's current price I don't think it's worth it imo.

Not dismissing the 8700K as it is a pretty even match with the 9700K. My point was more Z390 over Z370. Why go with Z370 when you can get a solid Z390 board for the same money that has good VRM's and will handle a 9900K should the op's friend ever want to drop one in.
