I don't want to change the CPU. GFX card can be changed, but has to stay Nvidia.
What do you guys think about the rest?
Why do you need an i7? And if you're getting an i7 get the K version so you can overclock.

System is for a new PC gamer. He really wants the i7 because he wants the PC to last.
And, hes not gonna do any overclocking, so I really don't think hes gonna need the K one.
I also saw that there's a K, S and a version without any letters, what exactly is the difference between these?
Edit:
Well I know what the K version is, but whats the difference between the S and the no letter version? Anything else besides stock clock rate?
I don't really think there is a difference besides overclock capability and the i7 has no performance over the i5 in games and in some games it lowers the framerate. Unless he really need hyperthreading for rendering and modeling it's a waste to get the i7. The i5 will last him a good 5 years before it needs an upgrade and the i7 will be the same.

Plus with the $100 saved from the i7 he could get a 680, a aftermarket heatsink or maybe save up for water-cooling. Or just have $100 for a rainy day.
Well, do you guys think the PSU will be enough to power that setup?
Yeah but that PSU is only semi modular and isn't as good of quality as this seasonic which is actually cheaper. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151087[/url]

And yes it is a 750w because he really doesn't need 850, even if he wants to SLI. if he really wants an 850 watt he should get this seasonic, its $20 more and is fully modular and better quality still. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151102[/url]
Thank you, I'll go with the 750w one.
