What components should I get?

Even though you say that it is much more than he really "needs" I still don't get why you would even recommend outdated software when he can make a fine PC that only goes a little over his budget.

I wouldn't slack on quality when it comes to making a PC, even if I have to go over budget.

Eh.. And Corsair Vengeance may be slower on the "specifications" but you can ask any computer expert and they will say it's much better than the rubbish you recommended theres more to it than just the mhz.
