Great build and good choice of components:

- Maybe you could look for a better case for that price. Check the Corsair Carbide 400R and the Fractal Design Define R4.

- I wouldn't go with Corsair for you PSU. This particular model have thermal issues and they tend to break a lot. Go with a widely trusted brand in power supplies such as Seasonic or XFX.

- No heatsink ? You should really invest in a better heatsink than the stock one from Intel. I recommend the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO. It costs about 30-40$.

I forgot to mention that this build is for a friend and he dosnt want to overclock and he hasnt made it 100% on the parts so if u can come up with a build that includes better parts for the budget that would be nice :)
