What do you have for a mouse and keyboard?  You might want to look at getting something new if you don't have good ones.

What about power supply

i would go for something with modular cabling so you only have to use the connectors yiou need and leave the rest unplugged.

The power supply is a 700Watt OCZ Power Supply.  It will be more then enough for him even when he adds a second VC.

Modular Power Supplies are crap and actually add resistance because of the extra connections.  Everytime you add a terminal/connection in the pathway you are putting more resistance in that path.

Well your technically both right. It does add more resistance but its not enough for a normal PC.

For more reliable voltages when overclocking modulars add too much resistance and therefore a decrease in the PSU's effiency.

If your not overclocking you can go modular with no issues.

20 dollar logitech keyboards are the way to go. Usually after a few months of crumbs, beer and other substances I throw em out and replace.
