My friend wanted a gaming computer because the one she had couldn't handle what she needed. She asked me to build her a computer for under $1,700. She uses her computer to game, edit music, and watch movies on Netflix. I was wondering if what I got her is good, and if not, I can always send parts back to be replaced for a different one, I have before anyways. I might overclock the CPU, not sure to what yet.

Case: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5222598&sku=A406-1096
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit (I know that all 16GB of RAM will not be used because of windows cap at 16GB on home premium and the of the GPU VRAM will take its place. We couldn't get windows 7 professional)
$350 spend on extra fans, programs, OS, etc. Only $1,350 left
I cannot change the case, she specifically asked for this case because of how it looks, and she was willing to pay extra to make all the colors in the PC match blue and black as much as possible. Sound wont be a problem for here, she wears headphones 24/7 when she is on the computer. This computer has 16 GB of RAM because she will be hosting some servers with around 10-15 people.
