The "wants to sli" thing doesn't really make sense, you can get a single strong card and it will perform the same as two smaller cards for the same cost. Although he can CrossFire Later if he would like.

You can drop the ssd (since it wasn't required.) and get liquid cooling if you'd like, although he probably wouldn't really need it.
