Comfirmation for PC for friend

[Clanscorpia]

So my friend needs a new PC and hes got $430 CAD to spend on it. This is what I was thinking. I went haswell because its cheaper and at the low end every dollar counts. Hes not upgrading for a few years so upgrade path doesnt matter. He also already has a case, HDD, and Power Supply from his last PC.
