I'm building a computer for a friend, i was wondering if this part list i made out would work out well. Responses with any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Few things, change out gpu to any r9 270x as for maybe $10 you get 5-8 more frames, would recommend modular psu for easy creation, and I know its a budget build but 8gb. is still really useful.

Thank you for the link! I did make the mistake of buying a PSU that was non-modular, it wasnt a fun build. I updated a few part in my list. I do want to keep an Intel processor as well.

I forgot to post the link -_- haha

same gpu=r9 270X.
You probably could get away with a dualcore but the 4150 would do fine in that case and the extra money could be spend on a better gpu.
The case has a height limitation for cpu coolers so look at at that when maybe buying an aftermarket cooler=157mm btw.The case has also a led fan in the front which is orange,there's also a version with a red led fan at the front for the same price.

Yeah nice build! Sorry I didn't back very quickly but here is what I am currently building. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/v3mrRB
P.S. the psu you selected has a handle bar on the back. Good price and fully modular just wanted to let you know!
