Not really sure about the keyboard and mouse, but he seems hung up on getting razer, I really don't know anything about them so if there's a much better product for similar or lower price let me know and i can probably talk him out of it. I went with the more expensive video card because i have the 1GB equivalent and it is an O.C. beast, but I'm always up for a better deal if you see one. Also I went with the 600w power supply is this about right considering he's going to be overclocking?
