Will destroy that build, ridiculously. Now that is mostly my build (in progress) so if you want you can replace the two 7850s with a single 680/7970. I also have the white 500R there because it's awesome, if he wants the black one change it.

If he needs Windows throw this in.

GTX 560 Ti in a €1600 build?! That's absolutly shït. Bad build overall, defo not worth the money. Skyline's build will destroy it by a HUGE margin.

That was the first thing that came to my mind.
OP, It's a way over priced PC for what your getting.

Throw this in if your worried about building it yourself and they will build it for you for €20.
