i am building a pc for a friend his budget is $600 i went $26 dollars over but he said that was the highest he would go so the total build is 626.07. i just wanted some other peoples opinion on the build before i buy it. he will be using it for gaming and he wants to be able to play games on medium to high settings. but overall he just wants to play games. i am open to changes and suggestions. but his budget will go no higher then 626.07. i would like your opinion on the wattage as well as the case and the mobo. and any other suggestions u guys may have. thank you!! here is the link the build:

That is a sensible build. The motherboard has a Micro ATX form factor and the case has a Mid Tower form factor. It's not a compatibility problem, but it will look small in the case (and you friend might appreciate having a smaller case). Rosewill makes a good mATX mini tower (I got one for a little off-site backup) for the same pricepoint as that Apex.

You could save at least $20 on Windows by shopping around and looking at specials. Newegg does Windows discounts at least once a month.

The 650 Ti Boost is a fabulous value. Nice job putting all that together.

thanks man :) always good to hear feedback from another person. im also concerned about the PSU will suit all the components he has or should i get more wattage? also could you recommend a case? one that doesn't look to cheap hes very picky about how the case should look!
