First, what is the preference for suppliers?
I ask because there's a Fry's in Chicago. Even if you only went once, it's a hell of a thing to go there...
Otherwise, I'm assuming newegg or tigerdirect work?
Edit:
Also, does your friend need windows? Shaving $140 off a build will get quite a bit more bang...
Edit:
Do you need a case?
Edit:
Attached is a build, without case, that just squeaks by under the 1200 mark.

no its not lol its the exact same price regardless of shipping.
also i highly dont recommend that motherboard based on so many bad reviews, i would recommend you get this BIOSTAR TZ68A+ LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s ... it has great reviews it does everything the other board does and its even recommended by techpowerup
Once you go SSD you never go back, so if possible I would really like for him to get one

theres only a small difference in performance from 2.0 and 3.0 pcie you wouldnt really notice a difference. you could go for a 3.0 and it would be better but you still shouldnt get that board anyways because its been raped by bad reviews. im sure theres a better one for not much more if you look. and you should keep your eye on this video card GIGABYTE GV-N670OC-2GD GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit... you can overclock it a lot more than the evga FTW because of the better cooling and its $20 cheaper

No monitor, no keyboard and mouse, 1080p, newegg, need windows 7, would prefer a SSD and need a case
Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, league of legends plus similar future releases. He does not play any games that would be considered a hardcore benchmark.

I can't tell if you're trying to raise my ire, or just not looking thoroughly.
The term "OUT OF STOCK" means that newegg doesn't currently have them. They even put it in all caps, so it's harder to miss.
There is a $10 difference, as there is a mail-in rebate. The factory overclock is higher on the EVGA model.
Claiming PCI-e 3.0 doesn't matter right now is, and I'll be blunt, stupid. You buy a computer with the intent to upgrade in a few years, and extend the lifetime. If you wanted the cheapest high performer right now, I'd have gone Z68 and 2600k. They have a shelf life of a couple more months, but they'd be more cost effective than the 3570 and Z77.
You have to look at the bigger picture though, which is where I think you're falling short. You've recommended all the nice shiny bells and whistles, but haven't fit them together into a coherent jigsaw puzzle. I'm really getting tired of pointing this out, so I'm done responding to whatever you're posting on this thread. You're welcome to suggest whatever you'd like, but my recommendations will stand on their own merit. It's up to v12dock to decide in the end anyways.

My friend has no interest in overclocking
RAM limitations.
The ram Limitations of Windows 7 Home X64 are 16GB and most people just gaming wont need more than 8GB
