Hey builders.

A friend of mine is looking to make his own PC. He wanted to know what the best parts to purchase would be.

He would require everything but the monitor and OS.
He also requested that the combination be Intel CPU/NVidia GPU but if you think it's wiser to get an AMD/ATI combo instead, please do... He can just put up with it.

As always, +rep to the helpful responses.

This is a very balanced gaming build which has overclocking capability if your friend buys a aftermarket cooler for it. If he doesnt want to, then he can save some money.

I agree you won't get anything better then the components listed above, unless you had a bigger budget.

What about if the budget was up to 1,000? Would you think the additional money would be worth the extra power?

If the budget was raised to 1K, All I would change is the GTX 770 to a 780 and get a good cooler for overclocking.

you could use the spare to get annother SSD or maybe even invest in some open loop watercooling? or you would upgrade the GPU but overall not much you could do to make it better for the price if im honest

This is a different build, went with a 290 as it can be overclocked to perform like a 290x quite easily.
