I am new to this and am asking for feedback on the build I have put together. I will be using it for gaming, web browsing, and design programs. Also I would like to know if everything is compatible thank you.

I would get a 4670 (non-K) if he gets a motherboard that cheap.

I was thinking that he can upgrade the mobo in the future and get an aftermarket cooler.

You dont need a Data hard drive unless you have a small capacity SSD which 120gb is tiny for gaming. Newer AAA games use around 20+gb just to install plus any updates afterward.
So yes in your case you would need a larger additional Hard Drive or you can take a hit to load speeds and get rid of the SSD in all and just use like a 1.5T HDD isntead.

You motherboard only matters to a certain extent. That extent is it only needs to be able to occupy all your components. That simple.
Theres a very minuscule amount of performance lost between a cheap motherboard and an expensive one. The difference is that more expensive ones offer more features for additional upgrade later on in the pc's life.
My personal build was built on a mobo that just barely fit all my coponents but since I dont have money I can pull out of thin air I was fine with this since I knew I wouldn't be upgrading anytime within the next 4 yrs. If you have the money and DO plan on upgrading down the line then you should get a slightly more expensive motherboard that will allow you to add features or upgrades if not then so long as your components all fit your fine.

That's an option too. You could go with an i5.

Well I changed it a bit again..? Anyway the non k version of 4670 is $190 or something so if you choose that instead of the k version then you can get the r9 280 or r9 270x. The difference between r9 270 and 760 shouldn't be TOO big. I also got an XFX PSU instead of the EVGA one and I removed the SSD. I'm not so sure about the motherboard but I think you can use it for overclocking. Check the phases.
