Hello guys, I'm helping my cousin his first pc build and I wanted to know your advice on the parts.
He's planning on buying it in September and, yes, I do know prices are going to change but I just wanted a heads up. As mentioned above the PC will be mainly for gaming altough web surfing and the usual MS Office stuff won't hurt :) . My preference in parts is Intel and Nvidia, the first one may change to AMD if needed, but the second one I would rather just keep it that way.

Thanks for any help and suggestions!
