Hi.
I'm planning to build a new PC for a friend and since I have not been following the market lately I need some help picking a few parts (CPU, RAM, SSD).

An i3 should be enough processing power, I was thinking i3 4330??
What speed RAM should I use? And how much of it?
Any decent SSDs I should look at?

The build will be for average use capable of HD Video playback.

Thanks!
