Check the system I built for friend

[nokturrduk84]

Hi,
My friend wants to build new PC & he asked me to help with building & I built this system so far, but problem is, I fell behind all these hardware stuff & I'm not sure if I did that build right. I mean if there is anything incompatible, can you tell me?
Also, we plan to wait for Nvidia pascal, so we're not getting GPU at this time.
Also we will pickup case in local store.

I would suggest the i5 6600k over the i7 if it is just for gaming. Now if he is doing video editing or any other workstation task then i can understand having the i7.

It's just for gaming, but no, we don't want i5. I7 is best for gaming & modern games use HT already. And all in all, we don't want mid-end cpu like i5.

Here is a person who tested 20 games and found there were no difference between the cpu with hyperthreading and one without. All in all its your money and you choose how to spend it.

We don't want i5 & we don't have problems with money. We want best CPU & i7 is best from i core family. All in all, maybe he wants streaming or decides video editing. In other things i7 is better than i5, like compressing & etc... So I don't see problem getting i7 over i5.
