I was asked by a friend who is currently a console user who wants to get into PC building if I could compose an approximately $700 PC build for him (Including the OS). He stated that he's fine with an approximate $40 or so budget increase if necessary. After asking him about specifics, he stated he wants the build to include Windows 10 OS, preferably a Nvidia graphics card, 8gb of ram, no preference on a AMD vs Intel CPU, no overclocking, 1tb storage room, and wants the availability of an upgrade without having to upgrade nearly the entire system. I am fairly new into the subject of PC hardware and parts so I had to put a lot of research into composing a build and this is the result:

I understand that this is not the best build, such as the CPU and Ram choices, however with the budget and his request for it to be upgrade-ready, this is the best i could come up with. In terms of his request with the availability of upgrade i picked a 620 watt psu and sli ready mother board so he can either buy an extra gtx 960 or sell the 960 and upgrade to a 970 without having to upgrade anything else. So the question is, is this a good PC build, is everything compatible, are there any other replacements that would improve this build, and am I missing anything?
