Looks like a solid build but you don't have an optical drive listed.

If it was me I would go for Win7 64-bit. He might want to add a couple gigs of RAM in the future and 32-bit will only recognize something like 3.2 or 3.6 or something like that. Might not be a big deal for most but maybe something to consider.

You picked quality brand components....good job.

How much gaming does he want to do? If he's a gamer you need to spend more on the video card and you can downgrade the CPU to an i5-750 or 760 to save money - if he's not going to game you can go considerably lower on the video card. The 5770 is a compromise video card. It will do everything but it's not that strong a gamer.

You probably want a 5830 at the very least for gaming...about $200. There is also a 460 with 1GB of video RAM for around $230.

For rendering movies any decent quad core will do the job, something like the i5-750 or the AMD 965 unless he is in some kind of race or competition to finish rendering real quick those processors are more than sufficient for the job!
I would not waste any money on a video card higher than a 5670 for this rig if the intention is not to game.
A-DATA are good but for rendering I would use Crucial or Kingston for sure!
