Small Gaming Build

    I've been asked to build a gaming rig for a relative but it's been some 6 years since I last did a build. I was hoping someone could cast their eyes over this and point out any glaring oversights or errors.

    My constraints are a budget of €650 tops (including delivery), Laser has to be accepted as payment and I'd quite like to have the bits by the end of the week for assembly next weekend. So basically, whatever Komplett have in stock has been my goal.

    No monitor, keyboard and mouse are needed. It's main gaming purpose would be initially Minecraft and Skyrim.

    I presume you still get a SATA cable with motherboards by default?

    Also, 500W should be sound to power the lot, you'd only be going 600W+ if you had an SLI setup?
    CPU|AMD FX 6300 Black Edition - 3.5GHz - Socket AM3+|€109.95
    Mobo|Asrock 970 Pro3 R2.0 - Socket AM3+ - ATX|€64.95
    Memory|Kingston Technology HyperX 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Module|€59.95
    Case|CoolerMaster Elite 371 - Midi Tower|€39.95
    Power Supply|Cooler Master B500 - 500 Watt|€42.95
    Windows|Microsoft Windows 8 64-bit|€89.95
    Graphics|MSI Radeon R7850-2GD5/OC - 2GB - PCI-E|€169.95
    Hard Drive|Western Digital 1TB 3.5" SATA-600 IntelliPower 64MB|€59.95

    Total||€637.60

    HWVS do a bank transfer if that any good, probably get better value there?

    EDIT: Actually delivery by next weekend would probably not be feasible at this stage.
