Everything is supposed to be as cheap as possible without sacrificing quality or performance(1080p) while being silent,cool and energy efficient.

this is a good build but i would rather have a better graphics card like an r9 270x or a little more pricey 760 instead of an ssd

You can move up in graphical performance, while remaining very quiet. This will be good for High/Ultra at 1080p. Still gets you an SSD and HDD, and the MSI 970 boards are cooled poorly, so I switched that to an ASRock. Also went with a Thermaltake SMART 650w, which will be good for efficiency, and therefore be quieter as well

I like the 8320 + 270x pair, but the CX750 is both overkill wattage-wise, and low-quality. That build with a better PSU would be a great build as well

my opinion though is if he ever wanted to upgrade to another gpu or add one he has the wattage to do so and would not have to go out and buy a new one 😛 but thanks
