Default amd 7750 build for friend

Tell me what you guys think about this build. It is for a friend who games a little, but mostly office work and multitastking. That is pretty much the price range he is looking for but I was just wondering what you guys thought. One other thing, I have a hard drive, a power supply and dvd drives.

The 4670 requires at least a 400W PSU.

the 4670 should use ~60W under maximum load. It doesn't even use a 6-pin power connector

* PCI-E 1.1 16X provides 75W max, though PCI-E 2.0 16X provides up to 200W. But people generally design the cards to be compatible with PCI-E 1.1

Still hung up on that motherboard, pretty much only thing holding me back.

I don't like the looks of the PWM section.

I'd go with this instead:
