I have assembled a part list for a friend who is looking into buying a non-laptop PC to get excellent performance at a budget and here is what I came up with;

The parts I chose are favorites from my favorite brands for the most part and serious research about the performance and particular products and experiences. And yes, I do value the optical drive.
So, what are your opinions and critiques?
Now for a personal build for myself, I wanted to get as much power out of $1000 as I could and here goes;

I do know the Xeon is locked but I think the 4 extra threads will outperform even a 5 Ghz OC in multithreaded apps.
Please refer to this build as #2
What are your thoughts? A few goals I accomplished with this list is;
GTX 970 in < $100 build
Great CPU
Mini-itx?
atleast 1 TB memory and 8 GB of RAM
A Seasonic PSU.
Blu-writer.
