I think you ought to shell out the cash for a good PSU. Just get a case without one of those crappy stock PSUs and pick up a nice Seasonic or something. It'll cost more, but you won't risk system failure.

He would probably be fine with the onboard sound too.

Do you need speakers, mouse, keyboard?

That PSU is prolly alright, but it isn't the greatest....You might wanna look into another one, maybe the Rosewill 450watt at newegg.com for around $30 bucks if your low on cash

Neither drive is spectacular: for the former, LiteOn/ASUS drives are hands down superior and for the latter, although it may be a bit more expensive, Pioneer/NEC drives are superior

Except for similar prices, you wont notice a price difference.....

Didn't see that he was going for the SLI, then in that case you need to get a really good PSU, and I think you have to get a certain kind of PSU for SLI , one that has 2 graphics card connectors...not sure though...
