Any additions apreciated
800$ is the limit

Well seems good enough, however any particular reason to get a Micro ATX for a full-sized case? Seems kind of a waste in my eyes.

It's a CPU/Mobo/Ram bundle which I get cheaper than buying seperate, I'm from Europe so I can't buy from newegg.

Well not a big fan of micro-atx for standard sized PCs, too much limitation. Are you sure you cant get the CPU mobo and ram separately for similar price?

I replaced it for an MSI B85-43 Gaming and an HyperX Fury 2x4 kit, so it sets me back about 40$

I have no idea where you are buying them from, if you could share a website with parts then I could have a peek as well.

Komplett.no

Yeah saw the bundle it's actually a good deal, better than what you can get with standard ATX and there are pretty much no sacrifices, apart from the fact that this won't support crossfire and has a lower SATA count, which as long as you will stick to single-gpu and one ssd + one hdd is enough.

650w is a bit overkill..
550w should be enough....
other than that solid build

I just want to futureproof the machine if he decides to upgrade the CPU/GPU down the road

I think he will stick with a single-gpu solution down the road. So I should go for the bundle most likely.

Yeah definitely, also from what I saw this xfx 380 is on a discount so it's a great choice as well.

Yeah I particulary aimed for that card because of the sale. Thanks for the advice!
