He asked me to look at some parts but I just going to ask you fp to help me out.
His budget is 10 000kr (around 1400 USD I think). I just looked at these stuffs but not sure about this. Is this good/bad? Should I change anything to something cheaper?
He will buy from this site http://www.webhallen.com/hardvara/
I found these stuffs.

In short
6970
700w
8gb ram
2tb hdd

So was it a terrible build or was a pretty good build and I just need to change some stuffs?

Thanks.

UPDATE EDIT:
Or should he wait with this and see how it goes when 7970 arrives?

Get an i5 2500k.

K version means you can OC.

You chose an H67 board. It sucks. Look for P67/Z68. Z68 is better.

There are better GPU-s. Or wait until the new AMD GPU-s.

He is in no need of OC. He can't tell the GPU and the mobo apart.
But he will wait till the new GPU-s and hope that 6000 series drop in price.

Not OCing should be a non-option these days, it's a waste of potential power for what literally takes 30 seconds, or 15 minutes if you want to get as much as you can from your hardware but that isn't necessary.

I can tell him to maybe give that a try. My self have normal clock and have no plans on OC. Not on this cpu, e8400

The thing is that I don't know shit about OCing, and hardware in general.

Nowadays you don't need to.

I guess I will be helping him if he gonna OC. Is there any good guide to follow or something?
Last time I asked fp to help me OC my computer bluescreen and crached. Reason why I don't try it again on my cpu.

Edited:

I know a bit how to OC but not 100% sure.
