Yo /g/'s
I'm building a computer for my brother, here's the specs. Any suggestions or does this seem like a solid setup for 1080 gaming?
I wouldn't have gone for the i7 but he says he wants one.
I bumped the Graphics card up to the 1070 after he said he wanted the i7 so not to have any bottlenecks.
Don't build him a PC. He will end up bitching at him whenever something goes wrong -- hell, he even wants an i7. You only need an i7 if you're rendering video. Tell your buddy to do his own research on the PCMR wiki.

Install gentoo on it.

Well he's my literal bro and asked for help. I'll just be helping him build it.
I do somewhat agree that he should just do the research himself like I did. (before I knew of Linus)

It's not like he needs it? He'll probably mostly be playing minecraft anyways.

Oh lawd. Does this happen to be a small child who watches Stampy?

No, older bro with well paying job.
