I am going to be buying this PC build soon and I think it's a great build. So excited! Anything that is missing on that I already have.

Can you go for the gtx 970?
Also, why not a stronger Cpu?

A crappy budget MSI board is better? Are you just trying to give him something below his budget or trying to help him? I have bad experiences with MSI boards. I'd rather get Gigabyte than a MSI board. Other than that this is somewhat of a solid build.

Any suggestions for a similarly priced board then?
