He will only be gaming with this PC, No editing or rendering of any kind. Looking to build him an all around gaming PC. $1500 budget with a keyboard/mouse/monitor.

Thanks

That is an expensive 3D 144 Hz gaming monitor.... so its either give that up and take $100 off for a cheaper model or get a $40 mouse / KB combo.... or if ya don't OC, stick with he stock cooler.
