Under $700 build Need Feedback

[MainStageNews]

I put this list together for a friend. Its a gaming machine for under ~$700 it has everything but the case which is something I think the owner should pick out. They wanted a smaller computer so thats why I went with mATX. Any suggestions on how to improve the list with out increasing the price much or any is appreciated. Thanks :)

Less CPU, more video card. Like 955BE + 7870.

You could get away with a smaller PSU, but meh, isn't going to effect the price much.

955BE=965BE ;) +I think core per core it's better than an 8150.

Great build. Otherwise, when you buy your case buy a Fractal Design R4. They are one of the best mATX cases.

Hmm i may have to look into the CPU but personally I dont think the 7870 is worth it over the 7850 with the new drivers. If I remeber correctly 7870 only gets about a 10% performance increase over the 7850. I dont know if this is before or after the updates but here is a link to a comparision

I personally like the fractal design arc mini for mATX but it is my friends choice and I think cases are more what you think looks cool if your not going to water cool. If he does go with the Arc Mini I may try to do a window mod on it unless you can purchase one with a window....

The Define R4 is a full ATX case.

Just a quick question : Is the 500W PSU sufficient if you're planning on overclocking your GPU and CPU ?

CX500 for 80$? That is quite expensive.
