Also with what you posted. First its got a cheap PSU, not good.
And if you ca afford it the i3 is much better than the pentium.

A lil over but the AMD APU is gaming capable especially at low resolution. You could add a dedicated GPU much later.

EDIT just seen your extra posts......is the optical drive and HDD sata?
 
You would need a better PSU though mate. Which puts it in the same price as mine really but I have a Intel i3 instead of a Pentium.

I'd buy the 1600mhz RAM as it has a lifetime warranty and is priced so close to the 1333mhz you've chosen it would be nice to have the extra speed there if it's reused down the road.

This mobo has sataIII as well as USB3 there are cheaper alternatives without the sataIII.

Cheaper case but I really don't like it. Consider he will keep the case for a very long time it doesnt hurt to spend out say £50 and get lots of fans, fan controller, digital temp display, cable management and a P4/8 extension cable like you do on the Z9 plus. (The 4 120mm fans and the extension must be worth £25 alone). It's a pity you just missed the offer on it :(

Click me for Z9 plus
 
He seriously doesn't care what it looks like he has some Acer one at the moment xD

That youtube video, The guy didn't mention OCZ as a recommended brand so maybe a 450W corsair PSU?
