My friend wants to build a computer for gaming and daily use. He wants the most for his money. His max is $2000.00

He plays MMORPG's and games like Battlefield and Call of Duty and other FPS's.

I had a build for him but i would like to get it critiqued and see what i can change out to save him money or upgrade to better performing parts / quality products where i am still new at this i may have made quite some mistakes

He will not be watercooling or overclocking this PC either.

Any improvements / suggestions are welcomed.

I need the build to include all that is there, an optical drive with read write in CDROM/DVD/BLURAY and a nice gaming keyboard / monitor. He already has a mouse.

***Also will all these parts fit inside the case and not have have trouble onto the motherboard?
 

for that budget, gettting 64 ssd is somewhat *
OS partition grows with more cache and update, system restore and etc
further more, ssd decrease performace at near full capacity

its because two 660 in sli would cost you about $500 or so but the performance would be much faster than a single 680. its a good value for money while 680 is not good value
