Buying a new pc for friend

[bladefd]

Hey, a friend of mine is ordering new parts for computer so I decided to help him. He is spending about 750 bucks. I chose the following for him:
Mobo:
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch.hmx?&scriteria=MB-BA21121

Cpu:
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch.hmx?&scriteria=BA21810

Memory:
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch.hmx?&scriteria=BA21453

Videocard:
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch.hmx?&scriteria=AA39230

PSU:
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch.hmx?&scriteria=BA21106

Total: $764.05 WITH shipping included. He is going to keep his current hard-drive, case and cd-drives, floopy. Also, in that amount, there was an option so MWAVE would assemble the stuff and test it so I told him to do that because he doesn't know how to assemble the stuff. Anyone got any objections? Thanks.

The only objection I have is clicking on 5 links when you could just list the components. How much is he spending to "test" the parts?

edit: What does your friend not knowing how to put a computer together have to do with testing the parts? Just have them read this and they'll be good to go

Uhh yeah, I object to the PSU. Don't skimp on it.

Get a forton 450w.

It's 9 bucks to assemble and test the parts.

I will tell him to get a forton 450w then - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104954 . thanks for the replies.

Everything looks good except the POS PSU. For that price, you can get a Fortron, which is good quality. Don't get that generic PSU.
