My friend needs a new build and his budget is $700, (Not including Monitor or Case). http://pcpartpicker.com/user/PurpleCheek/saved/1Yve
Are there any straight upgrades that I'm missing, or recommendations for it. He only needs it to last him two years. Thanks for any help/advice in advance.
P.S. He wants to order soon, so a quick last check would be much appreciated.

swap out the ram for 2x2 4gb ram it's faster.

get rid of the SSD and use that money for a 7850 instead of the 7790 (will last longer)

Also if he's near a microcenter 3570k's go for 180 i believe.

edit: nvm the mobo only supports 2 memory slots so 1x4 is better since he can buy another 4 gig stick later on

You have a micro ATX board and a mid tower, you could probably get a board with more memory slots, and generally make installation easier by picking up a similarly priced ATX board, besides that it looks fine to me.
