I am not sure that MBO supports SLI, and if your friend will not be doing SLI he does not need a 650W PSU either, 500W will suffice. Also why not some cheaper case?
As far as used computers go that looks like a good build. There are definitely some components that stand out as being reusable when the time comes for you to do a new build/upgrade.
