Ok, so if he's new to PC gaming he should be doing OC neither: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4x2DnQ
what do you guys think of the new gaming beast? :D
Stay away from this CPU if you plan to go with such a fast card as GTX980/970.
It will bottleneck the GPU in a lot of cases.
edit: I found my previous post about FX8370 and 8370E reviews :D

If I were you, I'd go with this. But everyone has their preferences.

You forgot OS :P.
Anyway @sttshadows, I would go with this, unless you want to remove some quality parts in order to go for higher GPU like @PredatorRules and @insane_metalist used or if you want to go higher than 1500 you can use a GTX980 instead of GTX970.
