Is this a good build? (700-750$)

Hardware Hub Build a PC

so my cousins thinking of building a gaming pc within the 700-750$ range and asked me if i had any good idea's

this was the best i could come up with http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1gE8f

 further notice: its going to be a gaming pc, so he's looking for best price to performance, preferable around 750$

this is my first build so i don't really know if its any good and what could be better, so any feedback (changes/suggestions) are much appreciated :D

If i was building this i would go for a bigger psu because if you want to upgrade in the future to the FX 8350 which uses alot of power so i would go for maybe a 600-700w power supply or to be safe and you wont have to check the voltage if you want to add anymore storage or more gpus.   (just my opinion) :)

  • i'll give the standard reccomendation of a m5a97 r2, heard alot of complaints with asrock
  • i'd try to get a wd blue harddrive
  • i want to say raidmax is cheap shit, but i'm not really sure off the top of my head

other than that it looks pretty good

I would get this psu its tier 2 according to Toms (best deal for the money psu right now imo) its only $60 well worth the extra $10 to not get a psu that might end up like a powmax if anyone remembers those......
