Helping a friend build a new computer.
He wants something fairly close to top end yet under $2000.
Mainly for gaming/small business.
I have honestly not been watching hardware recently so thought i would get the opinions of a few of you more savvy folks.
This is what i was thinking of for a build.

Priced this out on new egg. He will be using existing monitor and logitech keyboard/mouse.
Have i missed any components. Also are there any compatibility issues that you can see or alternate components or other build suggestions you could provide.
Thanks for your help

This is probably way late. I just discovered I hadn't signed in since Dec. 3rd - been a crazy busy season at work.
Anyways, the only that stands out to me is the OS. I try to steer clear of OEM versions of Windows these days. The OEM will not allow you to upgrade the motherboard in the future. You'd have to purchase another OS if you changed to a different model MB. Granted, he may not care if he can afford $2K for a PC build, but I was disappointed when I discovered that 'feature'.
Wasn't aware of that will have to let him know that.
Thanks
