If he isn't SLI or CF then the ud4 would be a waste. He can get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128487 and save 70.

Instead of Corsair 600T
Get Antec 1200 Full Tower Case

I left that option in case he wants to in the future.

Instead of Corsair 600T
Get Antec 1200 Full Tower Case

The Corsair has better build quality.

Ok If you left that option for the Future then why Corsair TX 650W V2.GTX 570 in SLi will at least require 750W and with some Over Clocking to be on the safer side 850W is recommended.
If you Intend to SLI in Future get Corsair TX 850W V2

Instead of Corsair 600T
Get Antec 1200 Full Tower Case

The Corsair has better build quality.

The Build Quality between the Corsair and Antec is pretty much the Same.Corsair is expensive and is a Mid Tower while Antec is cheaper and a Full Tower
Well going for a Mid Tower Case for 160$ is an absolute waste on a 1200$ Budget.Invest that on a better CPU/Ram/Gpu

 

[Tamz_msc]

CPU, RAM GPU is already the best he can have. I've seen both cases and the build quality of the Corsair IS better and it offers better cable management.The fans on the Antec have been a complaint of many users and they're known to be brittle, but you're probably right on the PSU.
