Computer for a friend

I helped him put this list together, but he also put in some work too. He will be using it for general productivity, light gaming, and some messing around-in spare time youtube videos. How does it look? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jakjakattack/saved/PbVbt6

No need to spend so much on a PSU for a I3 and 285. Go with a 500w PSU and put the money difference into a better motherboard,

For that budget you used way too much money for case, replace current GPU with R9 270x and get better CPU, and why so much money on PSU?

Go with this one

The motherboard is mATX while the case is ATX. It will fit, but will look a little lost. Also, the motherboard may need a BIOS update before the cpu can be used with it. Going to be more expensive but I would suggest an H97 ATX motherboard. Or mATX and change the case.

The psu is larger than needed. I would suggest Antec HCG-520M or SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze. But you could easily get by with Corsair CX430M, Corsair CX500M, or SeaSonic SSR-450RM.
