One of my friends has a budget of $700 or less to make a mid-range gaming computer that can do fallout 3, skyrim, crysis, and some other non-graphically intense games as well. I was helping him put together a computer on newegg and want to make sure this will work. He also want to make sure that he also has the right tools to put together the computer as well (everything listed below).
-----
Case:
ZALMAN Z11 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Motherboard:
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

CPU/Processor:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX

GPU/Video Card:
HIS H785F1G2M Radeon HD 7850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support VIdeo Card

Memory/RAM:
Crucial Ballistic Tactical Tracer 6GB (3 x 2gb) 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Storage:
Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKX 500gb 7200rpm SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Optical Drive:
ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM

Power Supply:
Rosewill FORTRESS Series FORTRESS-650 650W Continous PLUS Platinum
-------

He will be connecting his computer to a 1080p hdtv using HDMI and his input/output will be some gaming mouse + gaming keyboard (wired usb - both of them). He is also buying these tools to use to put together the computer as well as having me help him:

Paste:
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G - OEM

Toolket:
Rosewill RTK-015 15 Piece Standard Computer Tool Kit

Anti-Static:
Rosewill RTK-002 Anti-Static Wrist Strap
-------

Thanks to anyone who replies and helps.

The best build for the price is the post above mine. But get this PSU, http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9, it is the most reliable PSU on the market. Also you don't need any of the extras you listed except screw drivers if you don't already have some.
