£700 build

[Firemonkey9990]

My friend asked me to make a PC for him for £600-£700 (up to about USD1000). He said he would like to be able to play star citizen, and other games like that. I know he likes games like fall out, just cause and far cry, so he'll want to be able to play those reasonably well.

With all that in light, what do you think about this build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/rZ2VNG ?

Thanks in advance for any feedback, and feel free to tell me my build sucks.

N.B. I do want to keep the optical drive. Also I haven't included peripherals or a monitor and will discuss those with him once I've finished looking at the tower.

EDIT: sorry about the wrong link. (And some people think I'm competent enough to build their PC!)

This would be the perfect build. Good case and PSU, an SSD, a very good GPU, and a good CPU.
