Additional Comments:
like the preferences above, he prefers to take advantages on the Deals for the i5 3570k (-15$?) AsRock Extreme4 (-20) also prefers the CM Storm Enforcer (Good Air Flow is a must as hawaii is pretty much humid/warm year round and he intends on leaving this on 24/7)
he also brought up an interesting request, instead of buying an SSD+ HDD he intends on getting a 120GB+ SSD to cover his OS+ His most played games now and will buy a Few 1-2TB Harddrives later.
Also if you've read the post thus far you noticed i knocked the GPU off, Reason is he is on a waiting list for a few GPUs down here (Getting a 670 + i think it was a 7950 or 7970) which is covered. which ever one he feels is better he'll keep and he's selling me the other for half price (as payment, Good friend eh? )
If your wondering to ask why he has a budget for everything else outside of the GPU i believe he'll be using this computer until he graduates this winter and will likely be handing this "toy" down to a sibling :S.
