Build for friend

[montosaurous]

I will be building a computer for my friend around Xmas time. His budget is $400-450. He wants to game on it, and doesn't mind having to play games on low settings, as long as it will last him a few years. He needs an OS (Win8)and a wireless adapter. He also needs HDMI for both audio and visual. I want your advice on this build:

Pentium G850 $69.99

ASRock B75 Intel Motherboard $54.99

GT 630 $59.99

4GB Crucial 1333 RAM $24.99

Rosewill R363 Case + 400watt PSU $49.99

My only concern is that the PSU will not be able to handle the GT 630.

Swap the GT630 for a 6670, its a bit quicker:

And I would go for Windows 7 instead, since not many games have been made to run on 8 that I know of.

Also, save yourself $10 and go for this board:

He really wants 8 because it matches his phone or whatever. 8 has really good program compatibility from what I have heard though. I still prefer 7 for UI reasons. Do you know of any benches comparing the two? I can't find any on google.

any game that runs on windows 7 will run on windows 8. i been running the windows 8 beta for a year. I would look into the amd new piledrive apu. it going to come with a faster gpu the the card that was posted.

looks like it faster then the i3 but not as fast as an i5. if the mb and cpu can save your friend some cash then use it for more ram or a better hard drive.

Ah yes I looked at those too. Would take less power than a Pentium and GT 630, but not very upgradable.
