Hello everyone.

Iam going to build a PC for my friend with the budget of 1460 USD, 885 Pounds or 9500 kr.
This is what ive looked into:
CPU Cooler h60.
GPU: MSI GTX 770 4Gb.
PSU: Corsair CX 750M W.
HDD: WD Desktop blue 1 TB.
CPU: i5:4670k.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB.
Chassi: Fractal Design Define R4.
MOBO: MSI B85-G43, 1150.
Everything works alright?

I noticed that you picked a "K" series CPU with a B85 chipset motherboard. There are VERY few B85 motherboards that will allow you to overclock to any extent.
I would either go with a Z-Series motherboard if he intends on overclocking his system (which would make sense since you have included a closed-loop water cooler). Or get a non-K CPU and save a few dollars.
Other than that everything else looks great.
