Building a low budget gaming pc for a friend

Here's the link to the parts list, tell me if i missed anything. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/146xF

 

 The PC is suppose to be sub $500 but he isn't planning on getting the GPU until later when he has the money, so its ok if its a little high.

I'd replace the Core i3 with an FX 4300, though I don't know if any AM3+ motherboards exist that have an iGPU. Also, you could probably get cheaper RAM if you go with something else.

in my honest opinion unless u get a 3570k go AMD, get a fx-4100 instead. get 8gb of ram (2 sticks) and im sure u can get a 1tb hard drive for a few more dollars if you look around

I lowered the price of the parts closer to $500.
