Help with a build

[TrevorDTate]

My friend is looking to build a gaming PC and finally join the PC MASTER RACE! I was wanting to get peoples opinions on what parts to get for the PC. His budget is $600... Thanks in advance.

Does he already have any parts like a monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS?

I own that computer case it does not have front USB 3 ports, but you'd still have access to the motherboards USB 3.0 slots in the back of the case. If you can afford 700.00 I'd pick a more expensive case, and a small SSD.

He was wanting me to ask you what a better case would be for this build?
