So I'm trying to get my friend into pc gaming ( he's a console kinda guy ) he was round at my house playing games on my pc and he really liked it but he's not got the budget I had when building a pc so I configured this build for him

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/gHYpD3

I've never made an AMD build ( I'm an Intel fan boy :p  ) but I personally think AMD suits this budget build, any suggestions on how to lower the price in anyway for him or maybe upgrade some of the parts in here ?

thanks for reading this, all suggestions are welcome.
