I have already chosen the parts for a relatively cheap build for my cousin, and I would appreciate comments/recommendations.

Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811144026

PSU - (Included with case)

Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128359

CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116072

RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227364

Video card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161252

CD / DVD Burner - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151173

Antec 300 is nicer. Also, don't buy that HDD.
Buy a 320gb AAKS for $50, or a 7200.12 500gb for $60

And if possible, get a bottom mounted power supply, even though they can be hard to find. An then as Ladiesman said, get a better PSU. That would suck if that PSU died and took the rest of the computer with it.

Everything seems to be fine just go for Antec 300 with a good PSU (atleast 80% eff.)

He's building for his cousin.
Gotta agree get the 300 and a better PSU. I'm not a big fan of OCZ ram, but I won't tell you to get something different.

Get the antec three hundred, its alot sturdier, also would be better off with a more reliable PSU, bad idea to risk (relatively) new/good parts on a crappy psu.
