Hello everyone, I had previously asked the community for input in the past and had received some input that helped me see what errors I had made in my build and what would be a better build. Now I am asking for input again on another build that a friend asked me for input on. Because of my inexperience (aside from the research I did when I was choosing parts) I am not sure if this would be an accurate build for him. He is a gamer and would like a computer that can run most current games at the resolution of 1920x800 with at least ~60FPS. He usually would run games at high or ultra, and would like it if the computer could last a while without losing too much performance (taking into account that he may use another graphics card along with the current graphics card in his build instead of buying the newest in the future), he currently has a $1500 budget.
Also, he said that he would like a liquid cooling system because he says that it would be better for the CPU performance, I am not so sure if this is true or if it would even make a difference on this system but I added it in.
