It's ok man, there's other ways to skin a cat and you don't need to overshoot a build to prove your knowledge.
Just fit what he's requesting and stop trying to give extra shit that isn't needed that costs more $$$.
Sure an $800 build can do this and that....but why go cheap when you can do a $1,000 build?
We can keep rationalizing it like that all day long, but that's not what was requested.
It's like when people ask my customers, "How come you only bought the 6 Cyl when you coulda had the 8?" ......Uhhh...because the 6 was all he could afford at the time?

here ya go, browsing r/hardwareswap and ONLY getting the processor and GPU, and you have a similar build for 500 bucks. Those 2 prices are current, shipped prices posted within the last day. COuld do even better if you where patient.
Compared to my last build, it has a 500w psu (the 600w went back up) and a 280x instead of a 380 (roughly same GPU power) and you can spend another 100 bucks in a month to crossfire it.
Its a lot easier with used parts~
