New PC for friend - Suggestions?

[kemperkipie]

Hi, I'm building a new PC for a friend. I live in The Netherlands, so I use € euro's. I buy my products at Alternate.

He has a budget of something around €700.

He uses the PC mainly for browsing, and administration. But he also wants to use it for gaming. Not very intensive gaming, but good enough to play all games. (low / medium is enough)

This is what I had in mind so far:

CPU: Intel Core i5 - 3550 - €197.90
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77 - €102.90
RAM: G.Skill 8GB DDR3-1600 Quad Kit - €63.90
GPU: XFX HD7770 Double Dissipation - €127.90
PSU: XFX 450W Core Edition V2 (full wired) - €54.90
SSD: ADATA Sata3 (6GB/s) 120GB - €94.90
Case: Sharkoon Vaya - €26.99

Extra:
Keyboard: Gigabyte GK-K6800 - €12.99

Total: - €698.37

He doesn't need any other parts. He already has monitor and mouse, only his keyboard was broken.
You can also suggest parts you find on other sites. I will look them up for my country.

That's pretty decent if it was me i would get rid of the XFX PSU and get a Antec and i would also get rid of the XFX video card and get a Sapphire, Then i would not get a Adata SSD i would go with Samsung 830 series. Other then that the build is pretty good and your friend should be very happy.

Can you explain why you want to change that?
I own a XFX 1050W Black edition myself, and I'm very pleased with it. That's why I selected this one for him. Why is Antec better?

Why should I get a Sapphire card? This card I guess. I want to get him a silent, but good cooling. Is this one better?

And why Samsung 830? Adata has more read/write speeds and more IOPS. Also the ADATA SSD has a bracket in the box, and is cheaper.

Ok, so I am keeping the Adata and XFX (now black edition). They will work good, and have good experiences with them.

CPU: Intel Core i5 - 3550 - €197.90
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77 - €102.90
RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR3-1600 Quad Kit - €64.90
GPU: XFX HD7770 Double Dissipation Black - €127.90
PSU: Antec VP Power 450W - €45.49
SSD: ADATA Sata3 (6GB/s) 120GB - €94.90
Case: Sharkoon Vaya - €26.99

Extra:
Keyboard: Gigabyte GK-K6800 - €12.99
DVD-drive: Samsung SH-222BB -€15,99

I've made some changes. This will be the final build. I only need to know if it is all compatible with eachother.. Can someone help me with that? I want to know for sure, because it isn't mine.

Will the PSU be enough to power the i5 + 7770HD, and will it fit in the case?
I'm ordering it 3 July before 12.00 (it's 0.15 in Holland atm)
