Looking for more information on a good gaming build

[bhollandtcc]

Bud of mine is wanting my help with his gaming rig. I was personally having issues with what he wanted. Figured I'd give you guys a go and see what you had in mind.

What he wants:

Intel i5 or i7 processor.
16gb of RAM
SSD for the Operating system
500gb or 1tb HD for music, videos, pictures, games
He has a case in mind, but I have no link for it at the moment.

What he plans on doing with it:

Moderate gaming, mostly streaming videos and maybe editing his Xbox360 gaming videos.

His budget, doesn't want to go over 700. Prefers the 600 range.

**Everything needs to come from newegg as he might be using his preferred account to pay for the rig**

Thanks!

You cannot really get 16gb of RAM without sacrificing another part. I left some budget room for the case.
