I was mainly trying to hint at he should save his money till the I7 comes out. But if he was gonna build now, then he could do it for cheap.
We all know the price cuts are coming on Intel CPU's, so why not save a little, especially when it's right around the corner.
But I really do think this is probably over board for most people.
Unless he's aiming for a super high OC, there is no reason to buy the Mobo. Same goes for DDR3, it's still not worth the price increase IMO.
The power supply is also way overkill.
