Cheap gaming PC build for friend?

[Cleanslate_101]

I'm trying to help my friend build a Gaming PC that's cheap, and has decent performance. This is the list I've put together so far http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8qRvGX , and I was wondering if there were any changes you people would recommend. Whether it's a price change, or for better performance. If the build is total crap, that's fine too. I wouldn't even mind a completely new build. Just need your thoughts. Thanks!

Do what okcnaline said. Also, you need the permalink, not the URl. That relies on the computer's cookies, which we don't have access to(and you do not want that either)

As for the listed build, if there's no monitor purchase then it is fine.

That's a tough build. Do you need a monitor? Optical drive?
