Gaming Build

[Telchines]

Hello, I wanna build my cousin a computer since he only has a laptop right now and Im gonna use my old case, psu, and gpu but I still need everything else. This is what I have so far http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WDfyZL but I was wondering what I should change

if you're only spending $500, you can't spend $70 on the keyboard.  get a $10 keyboard at the most, and a cheap mouse.   put the extra money into a graphics card

this is a little more than $500, and doesn't have peripherals, but it is the best thing you can get for this price.
