1. Looks really good, that PSU is very nice but I think you could save some money and downgrade a bit. Maybe save 20-50 dollars if you need it.

2. I would get this mobo instead:

3. Two of these in RAID 0 would be nice, save some money on that raptor:

If he has a strict 2500 dollar budget. A 50 dollar upgrade on something can make a difference. Maybe more fans or a better case.
