Hi,

I'm building a computer for a friend and would like some thoughts on the build and maybe suggestions on what to improve. I'm giving him my old GTX 560Ti and I compiled a list of parts that would go with it:

Using it as a home comp. He mainly uses the computer for gaming, work, and watching stuff.
I was compiling the parts in a sense that he'll use it long term and he'll be able to upgrade the video card any time w/o having to rebuild again, other than maybe the PSU.

He mainly plays games like the new COD, and survival games like Day-Z and Rust. Also often plays League of Legends.

For gaming, a 560 ti just won't do. Look at this build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/Y4BWjX
Unless you or your friend plan to upgrade the graphic card in the near future the GTX 560 ti will not do. My build is not overclockable, but has a much much better graphic card and so is the more balanced and more better gaming build.

He's not an enthusiast and doesn't commonly buy games, not worried if the GTX 560Ti can't run anything later as he can just buy a new video card later, better than nothing really.

And I did say I compiled the build in thought of being able to upgrade any time :<
