If you get the 2500k, you can use HD3000 integrated graphics. With non k versions, you are stuck with HD2000.

I think it's worth the extra - 30 or so bucks.

You have a point but he already purchased those parts. On another note, the Antec BP is kind of old but it will do fine. If you can, you should purchase this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013 The insides are from Seasonic [really reliable]. The rest of the parts look good.
