TooXquisite wrote @The above build
- Go with an intel cpu.
- Liquid cooling at this budget isn't nessecary, he could just get a hyper 212.
- Why does he need a 750w psu for a 660? Too overkill.
- I'd go with the WD blue over the barracuda.

Before I continue, I like your style.
Reason for the "overkill" PSU is stated in the other post. Again all just on my personal experience.
Intel Processors are nice but rather pricey, as to why for a budget build I say always AMD. Intel i3's don't really provide nearly as much efficiency compared to the Quad/Six-Core FX series AMD processors do. If the person could afford a decent i5 though I would recommend that.

I personally always suggest to save money on the OS and...do what you gotta do to get the desired Operating System if you know what I mean. Easy way to save a nice buck IMO. Also wasn't sure if you need a monitor so I left that out
