I like the number 2133 and it's only $20 more, so this memory would be better.
I like the number 850 and it's only $20 more, so this power supply would be better.
I like thunderbolt and it's only $20 more, so this motherboard would be better.
Damn, I wrote that when I was drunk.
Please disregard.

Neckbeards! Doctor Cichocki does not approve of stupidity and neither do I, stop the spread of damned useless rules!
Any feedback would be appreciated.
That's horrible. What's your budget?
And I dont need mouse/keyboard and those extra things. Basic needs + OS are all I need.

If you're gaming no.
If you're rendering, you should be rendering on the GPU, so not really.
Overclocking the i5 would give you a much bigger increase in performance.
Rendering, 3D Modeling, Professional Work, etc...

"Programmers never repeat themselves. They loop."
Mine has much higher capability for overclocking and has a way cheaper hard drive.
Assuming he wants to overclock, yeah, he can do that.
My hard drive comes with a longer warranty.
"Programmers never repeat themselves. They loop."
It's also way more expensive.
I left some additional money in my build so if he wants to get the Black he can.
I like the number 6 and it's only $20 more.
Damn, I wrote that when I was drunk.
Please disregard.
I don't... even... biggest joke of a build I've seen in a while. Well done sir, well done.
