~$500 - $700max Gaming PC

[Pepto]

I'm building a gaming computer for a friend. She wants to spend about $500, $700 max, for the best gaming PC she can get. This is what I got so far, please make changes that will make it better and stay under $700. The case can't be changed, it must be mini-ITX, have 8GB RAM, Cheap Monitor, and 1TB HDD (NO SSDs).

Case: BitFenix Prodigy Red

CPU(AMD or Intel, she doesn't care): AMD A8-3850 Llano 2.9GHz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103942

MB: ASRock A75M-ITX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157273

GPU: GTX 650 Ti
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130827

RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226260

PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX 600w
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

HDD(RPM not important, OS not needed, already have it): 1TB Seagate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148912

Cheap Monitor (720p+ sufficient): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236203

We are over $700 and need help

using llano CPU with gtx 650 will never be a good option

do you mind if we suggest different cpu/mobo/gpu combination?

Any combo, just has to be under $700 and a Mini-ITX

I will most likely go with yours, but I am going to see if any others post first to see what they offer before I decide.
