Hi all,

Most up to date part picker!
My little cousin in the US is looking for a PC - he wants to sell his Lenovo Y500 and get a desktop PC.
He is in the US and can buy from most shops- I prefer to use amazon or newegg personally, but open to suggestions.
Here's the specs of what I've drafted up - if possible, to save more money would be better, in order to drive down the cost. Currently looking at around $1400, but would much prefer that to be near the $1200 mark
We're thinking of buying the OS 2nd hand and also the RAM - We were also thinking of saving a little money on the cooler - by going for the EVO212 - let me know your thoughts:
Thanks for any input - help will be appreciated!
