Hey guys! As the title states I'm looking for a discussion based on a budget of between $700-$900.
I am building this for my brother and he wants to be able to play FF14 (MMORPG) on max settings, as well as some other games such as League of Legends. Nothing to demanding but I'm hoping to build him something that is future proof.
He also wants to be able to do some graphic design so I want to make sure it runs smoothly for him.
The current build I have in mind is as follows

The Video Card/Case/PSU are just fillers. I am hoping to cut some out so I can fit a SSD(120GB) boot drive in.
Also I have no AMD/Intel Bias so fire away. (I do have a microcenter nearby too!)
Thanks all!
