What is he going to use this computer for? Budget?

Everything should work, but there are some things I would change. First off, socket 754 is an outdated platform. If you are going socket 754, an SLi board is almost useless. For the hard drive get one with at least 8 Mb cache and you should get a SATA drive. Everything else is fine, but like I said, you could do better.

EDIT: And what about the PSU?
