Hey all!

I was hoping to get some feedback here on this build for a buddy of mine.

List of priorities:

Burning (Blu-ray, DVD, etc.), Some gaming (Probably nothing more intense than COD:MW or even CS:GO), General use and data storage and media use.

He does want some power behind it though, in case he feels the need to upgrade and/or game in the future.

Here is the link to the current setup: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/iCTB

Any suggestions are appreciate!

Thanks in advanced,
 
I edited it a little bit. The motherboard you chose was too expensive and more than what your buddy would have needed with an i3-2100. Also, I swapped the GT430 for a stronger 6670:
