Hey everyone!
My friend has asked me to help him build a good pc for gaming and also video rendering. His budget is a strict $1200 for the tower, monitor, keyboard, and mouse (no speakers needed), and I've put this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2xZXJx together, and it's about to go over budget but I don't know a whole lot about motherboards, or power supplies, or most parts for that matter. I can put it together for him though, so no need to spend extra on assembly.
So if anyone has any helpful suggestions or anything at all to add, I would love to hear it. Especially if I picked incompatible parts, and super-especially if you have a set up that will work for him, even if nothing from my list is included. i hold no pride in this, so fire away.
The only requirements are:
Windows 7
1 TB hdd (if i can squeeze in a small ssd, that'd be sick too)
20" monitor (or bigger) with very low response time a must
needs to be able to play games like Skyrim and Arma 3 with at least medium graphic settings.
