i dont see any reeason paying so much for an hdd (230$ is way too much) if he's going to spend 230 $ for storage i would go for a 1 tb drive in the cost of about 100$ and a 60 GB ssd for a boot drive. the cost will be roughly the same and he would get much faster boot time and even some fps increase if he puts the game on the ssd (about 2-5 fps increase ).
other then that that pc is realy great

I live in Bronx New York. Does newegg have an option to have all those parts put in for you? I don't know how to build a PC myself

Since newegg doesn't have a "build for you" option I decided to go with avadirect.com. Any suggestions?

Go to custom builder and look for one with i5/i7 and p67/z68 starters and find parts i listed from newegg and compare the price

You picked the wrong psu, that one is 1200W. Also, you dont have an OS? If you still need to lower, get monitor w/o speakers as u wont be using them without HDMI. Report back when u look into it

Remember that price includes shipping while the newegg one doesn't. Having a system built for you will be a bit more expensive but you get warranties and don't have to deal with anything it goes wrong while building. Also i dont thin he needs a aftermarket cpu cooler, stock is probably fine cause I don't think he will OC. And yes that PSU is way too big.
