Hi everyone

My friend wanted me to put together a Mini-ITX PC for and I chose this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DqJtP6

If you think that a should change anything please tell me. p.s. he already has 2 monitors that run FHD!

Its not a bad build but I'd spend the extra $100 to build a Skylake computer with DDR4 RAM. You'd need say a i5-6400 and H170 Motherboard.

If you keep the CPU you mentioned already get a mini-itx H97 motherboard to save you some cash. Put that extra $20-$30 into the video card.

if this is for medium/ high end gaming this is the setup I would go with, its fairly cheap and will run pretty much any game at high/ultra setting, if as mentioned his screens are both 1080p he may want to spend more money and go for the R9 380, r9 390 or the GTX 970, if you want to know anything else let me know.
