I wanted to know if this is a good build for my friend.
He wanted to play Battlefield 4, League of legends, CS:GO and World of warcraft at 1080p is this enough ?

Remove the $37 in case fans and the $49 ssd and get an i5

Your case only has one front fan.

Get a better case eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139018 that has a front and a rear.

Is an i5 really necessary for it's use ? Because He really wants an SSD and those fans is because he want the PC to be blue with this case :3 I was wondering if the i3 would be enough for 1080p gaming.

Some games yes, some games no

Is it enough for World of warcraft and Battlefield 4 ?

The GTX960 is fine. So is 8gb ram. But you need a quad core CPU to play at more than minimum settings.

is the i3 is considered a quad core CPU with the hyperthreading?

 

[i7Baby]

I thought you would know seeing as how its on your build list - http://ark.intel.com/products/77488/Intel-Core-i3-4160-Processor-3M-Cache-3_60-GHz - 2 cores.

i3s are much better than people think, is still no match for an i5. An ssd and all those case fans have no business in a budget that small. He would be sacrificing a whole lot of performance to have those things. 60GB ssd is not even big enough to mess with.

If your friend is willing to lose 2 cores and some future use for some pretty blue fans and an SSD he should probably go get a ps4.

Alright i'll say to him to wait and get more money for an i5 😉
