Another one of my buddies want's to build a gaming PC and has a 2k budget man... $2,000.00 is a lot to work with!

(EDITED: UPDATED AGAIN 1/11/17)

Final comparison from previous build and taken opinions and other options into consideration... there is lots of money in this build but don't have to use it all how is this?

This fixes your build and gets the 16gb of memory with a 6600K processor for a lower price.

I would consider adding this SSD to load all the main games on.

you want an i5-6600k
for a 1080p screen a 1080 is just a waste of money


if he wants to spend all of it, a 500GB M.2 SSD is nice
