you say he needs a sandy bridge, you dont even know what hes going to be primarily using the PC for. I think some questions need to be asked before hand. Just because you CAN spend a thousand dollars doesnt mean you SHOULD.
here
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
4. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
8. What resolution YOU plan on gaming with.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
