If you have any better options i'd like to see them.

The V300 is a garbage SSD, Kingston did a bait and switch with them. Both PSUs you have selected are pretty poor and I found it weird that you put in Windows for only one of your builds. Does your uncle need it?

 

Anyway, here's my take:

he said he doesnt care, but id like it around $550 to $600 USD, the only reason he wants a pc is for wow... which i guess its a little overkill for wow but he might try to play other games.
