intel / nvidia / asus - $4k rig

[-Synchronicity-]

As most suggested, go Aftershock. Unless you don't mind being your friend's technical support.

Aftershock comes with warranty and after-sales service so your friend can just refer to them if he/she has any doubts.

Unless is a girl and you trying to impress then different story.

nope.. after building 2 sli rigs & doing 3d vision surround.. im not into gaming anymore.. most of my spare cash is going to my electric guitar & pedal board

I'd look at:

Asus x470 Prime with 3700x: 760ish
Coolermaster 212x: 55ish
G.Skill 16GB (2x8GB 3200): 140ish (cheaper if bought overseas)

Get an Adata m.2 1TB

Then the rest goes into GPU, secondary storage, PSU, casing, monitors, etc.

thank you ill look into it!

If you want intel, just go for 9700K.

If you want AMD, just go for 3700X.

You won't be able to feel any diff and both will be able to handle whatever you throw at it.
