Just looking for some opinions on my friends build. I might be switching a couple things like the OS, MOBO, and Win 8.1 to 10. Let me know what you all think.

Solution
Good strong build, would up the data rate of the DRAM, I'd go 2666 or 2800 anyway, the higher data rate will be better performance wise ;) The rest looks good!
