Alright so here's a build a friend put together for me. He says for the price it is pretty good and I'm debating on building it. It is flexible, can be upgraded in time, and could also be overclocked if I added a CPU cooler.

What do you guys think? Also, I was debating on replacing the case with a Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case. And do I need to add in a sound card so I can get Dolby Surround Sound or does the Mobo have it covered?

Same price, same case. Better PSU (by far), i5, GTX 960. This is not as flexible of a build, this is more of a spend it now, enjoy it now kind of build. You don't need 16gb of memory for gaming.
