Normally I'd have specced the Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB but it's unavailable on OcUK at the moment due to stock problems.

You may want to change the case seeing as they're a very personal thing.

Are the OS, peripherals and monitor required, too?

I'll probably pass that on to him, but I prefer an ASUS motherboard (but that's up to him)

This is getting confusing. Your/our friend wants a liquid cooled computer. Unfortunately, that means no raven case. I was thinking of the esylium
