You can get a build a lot better than that for 800$. I didn't include a OS as you should put that money towards your actual build. Just torrent Windows 7 instead.

I did not include an operating system as you can just torrent it and get it for free.

The 8350 isn't worth the extra 70 dollars, as it is just an 8320 factory overclocked. Get the 8320. And no ssd? especially for windows 7 a ssd is a necessity.

It's only 40$ more and why not with a budget of 800$? Got him a 280X instead of an SSD.
