Hey guys, I have an exchange friend from china and he is looking to use this computer to mainly game and do school work on. I threw something together that I think will do the job! His budget is about $1500. If you guys wouldn't mind double checking it and just making sure everything seems to be all there and ready to go that would be great! (He mainly plays WoW and a few chinese MMOs) Thank you for taking the time and here is the link!

Drop the i7 and get an i5 you will see no performance gain for gaming with an i7. And invest the savings in a 770 over a 760. Also ditch the coolermaster PSU they suck get a seasonic,xfx,antec or corsair psu

The Samsung Spinpoint M8 1TB 2.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive being 5400rpm it's slower than common HDDs (also being 2.5" it might need an special bay added to the case in order to properly secure it), change it for some 1TB 7200rpm HDD 3.5" and it will be ok.

1. Drop that i7 and get a 4690K.

2. Get a XFX 650 W/Seasonic M12II 650W PSU.

3. Drop that 5400 RPM HDD and get a WD Cavier.

4. Invest the savings to a GTX 770.
And now you have a great build :)
