This is for a friend, and I'm trying to make the cheapest, yet reliable. He wants 144Hz monitor.. so please can you find something else for him? He mainly plays CS:GO and that's it..

Please help me. Tell me if anything is wrong. and yes he wants the SSD as his storage and he also has a keyboard and mouse already.

what's his total budget. Does he need a case and OS?

 

[mazooni]

This is what I came up with.

Your parts are reasonable; actually very good.
144hz is not.
60fps is more reasonable.

Oops forgot to put that in.. Heres his case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811345024
and his budget he said is 1150.. but I think that's way to much for what he's getting.

I don't know why he wants 144hz, with his budget he won't be pushing that many FPS
