$585 Partial PC Build for a friend!

[theawolwarrior]

Hey guys my friend need a new PC but he already has the RAM, Hard drive, and DVD Drive so all he need is a CPU, Mobo, Video Card, Case, and PSU (Modular if possible). He can make the order right now so if you find any hot deals you can include it!

Thanks.

1) He has this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104339
2) Not if it dosnt make that big of a boost diffrence (He wants the maximum frames for games and to be able to stream)
3) No.

if he isnt worried about overclocking he would get the best performance from the last build in gaming

I would get the i5-4670k Build if you can afford it. You will have a huge upgrade path and be future proof. At the expense of taking an r9 270 which performs a bit lower than a gtx 760. If you can overclock the r9 270 right then it will perform just like a 270x which is on par with the gtx 760.
