The budget for the computer is $900.
If you can make a cheaper build I would prefer that.
I want the build to play new pc games, and also be upgradable in the future.
The build can be either AMD or intel.

I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers.

I have asked this question again because I ain't getting much help.

Yea looks good to me I personally would of gone the route of a XFX power supply however the builder series is just fine. It's not the best but its good enough to get the job done certainly.

This is a possible build for you. Depending on when you decide to purchase your parts the build can vary due to new released parts and parts becoming cheaper.

Bring over the memory, bring over the hard drive, use the same case. Only things I would change honestly; Motherboard, CPU, GPU, and perhaps PSU.

The memory is too risky, it could be from a CRAPPY brand but the HDD would be OK

I think I am going to use the case from my current computer, and I am going to get windows 7 over windows 8.
I am going to transfer the hdd, and optical drive from my computer to the new one.

The worst that happens is that the memory at some point craps out. But honestly as long as its ddr3 1600 or so 8 gigabytes yea I'd stick with memory even still. Again things he can carry over and eventually if he wanted to change out to keep cost down. Sure there is better for him but I'm suggesting what will cut cost for the time to get him stronger components while leaving room on the 900 budget.

I wouldn't get a PSU from EVGA probably would stick to your generic Seasonic PSU. A 650w psu isn't necessary for a GTX760 anywho :)
