Intel is still touting the Ivy Bridge-E processors as 4th generation.
Your friend wants "the best of the best" for what? If he's just going to be watching youtube or netflix any high-end processor is going to be a waste of money.
So no gaming, video editing, programming, 3d models. If he's not doing any of that and just browsing the web Id tell him its a waste of money and he's an idiot,
to tell the true feeling little bit fear this will be the biggest build for me, and first time costume water cooling I hope i will not mess-up. but this will be good experience source for me
I bet you most of the man leaving in USA wants to have high end sports car, but does it really matter if you have corvette, viper, Porsche, Ferrari, bugatti veyron, or Nissan Maxima? practically there is no difference because maximum allowed speed is always under 100miles per hour and all of this cars can do that speed with no problem.
If he's not doing anything computationally intensive their is no point in this build at all, it's not a car something that you can stare at or show off its a PC which you buy for performance not to show off, oooh look at my cpu it has six cores come take a look.
But it makes no sense to show off a of if you don't use it, most cpus look pretty much the same so how would that work. All I'm saying is it makes litterly no sense what's so ever to put a 650 dollar GPU when you don't game or don't use for any professional work, a gtx 780 for web browsing is the stupidest thing ever heard off.
Shut up. He asked you for help with a build for a customer that clearly wants something specific, his reasoning doesn't matter. If you aren't going to help, don't, but quit arguing a futile point.
OP, Here's a build for you: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1PrYt
Come on people, if he wants to spend his money on this let him be. Laissez-faire
It's not any different from those rich assholes who spend $1000 on "premium" ice-cubes and "exclusive" t-shirts. Mghvgeo, just get an ivy bridge-E like you intended, put shitloads of RAM in it. Two 512 GB SSDs, TItan SLI and a host of other overkill hardware.
