Here are the parts that i have chosen for the build:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Thirusan/saved/9dm2FT
I do have experience in building computer but i just want to make sure this is a very stable system. This build is for a friend and i need it to be future proof, Its an £850 build, he needs a system that is good for gaming, video editing etc. He is planning on overclocking in the future.
He is planning on overclock up to 5ghz later. Is the cup cooler a good choice for that?
He doesn't mind making small improvements every year.
Is the Ram speed okay?
I dont think the PSU will be future proof when he adds another gpu and overclocks the system?
I think the motherboard is a good choice? i am currently using it.
I want to know how i can save him some money and at the same time create a future proof build.
I was thinking buy the important parts like cpu and motherboard etc high end because i dont want it affect or bottle neck the system and the other stuff he can improve over the year like get 8gb now and another 8gb later for RAM. etc. Personally i feel like he should buy a good psu now so he doesn't have to replace it in the future but let me know what you think.
What are u suggestions?
Thank you!!!

For 100 euros more, you can get a r9 280x. Which is near a gtx 770-780. But for the budget.
