So I have a buddy that needs a new gaming build. Last one I did was Z97 so I'd like some help with the hardware choices. What are the best bang for buck choices currently and I was going to go with an i5 unless you suggest something else. i7 is not required. He mostly plays older games off of Steam (Rome total war) but would the option to play newer stuff if anything catches his attention. No monitor or peripherals included in the $1200 CAD. What says you experts?
