It looks great! I envy your friend. It is a simple, powerful but relatively inexpensive gaming machine. If you are planning to install Windows 7 and you are unsure whether to obtain the 32bit or 64bit version, I suggest you consult the following website: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/common-windows-7-compatibility-issues/ . Your hardware should be compatible to either but what about the software? You will probably have to buy a HDMI cable as they are not usually shipped with a monitor. You may need additional SATA cables. I don’t see any input devices such as keyboard, mouse, etc but whenever possible, try using the wireless type. If you order the monitor from Newegg, I suggest you check the monitor immediately upon arrival for dead pixels.
I hope your friend will appreciate the effort, care and consideration you are putting into this system.

    Everything their seems fine, although I would personally buy a couple of SATA cables just to make sure, as sometimes they may not be in the box for you, (rare but does happen).
    Hope this helps.
    Respect,

    Malli.
