A friend of mine would like to get into PC gaming so I plan on building a system out of the parts I have laying around (marked $0 on list). The games he intends on playing are BF4, Dark Souls 3 & some MMO's. I think the i3 paired with the GTX 780 6gb is plenty for those games however I'm open to other ideas. He will be gaming on a 4K/60hz HDTV but will probably scale it down to 1440P or 1080P depending on performance.

Any input is appreciated. I would also consider a used market but would want it to be local (western MA, US.)
Also max budget is around $300 (give or take $20).

. Another option which would stay within budget is the 4460 if I went new.
