Hi all,
Friend has asked me to build him a gaming rig for Xmas, budget is £600 and not a penny more, already has peripherals and single 1080p monitor. He's an Intel / Nvidia fan so that rules out any AMD kit. I'll be applying an aggressive OC to the CPU to gain any free performance I can, hence the cooler.
My proposed build:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor (£49.14 @ Aria PC) - 4.5ghz overclock
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£23.54 @ CCL Computers)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£33.35 @ Aria PC)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£57.99 @ Amazon UK)

Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 970 4GB Video Card (£239.99 @ Amazon UK)
Case: Aerocool DS Cube Black Edition Silent Cube MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£59.53 @ CCL Computers) - non negotiable, he loves it in orange and black
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£44.99 @ Amazon UK) - estimated system wattage is 300W
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer (£9.98 @ Scan.co.uk) - yeah, I know, but he wants one.

Anything in there that screams out "CHANGE ME!?!?!?"
