Total budget was 900 dollars. includes everything except monitor. he wanted a computer that would last atleast 3 years at 1080p gaming, medium/high settings.

cpu-went with i5 6600k because of the overclocking potential and extra GHz stock.

cpu cooler- wanted to get an air cooler with some red, keeps the cpu idle at 28C will update with load temps. only con is to mount it i had to remove the second fan.

mobo-nice z170 board, i got a refurbished one from newegg the red really pops out

memory-wanted a 16gb red kit because well reasons

ssd- he has an 500gb drive that was 3/4s full so I decided to get one large ssd for silence and speed

gpu-I had to chose between the 480 and 1060, im a nvidia fan and for my brothers games nvidia is the way to go, haven't stress tested or looked at idle temps will update the temps.

case- cheap case looks good, cable management is a nightmare with only one hole, included fans dont make much noise tho. Worth the money

psu-wanted a decent 750w unit, only con is the semi modular cables being a pain to deal with trying to cable manage.
