Here's a couple of quick photos of another build I did the other day for a friend at work. A thread with more info and pics can be found here on overclock.net (http://www.overclock.net/t/1436351).

Criteria:
Home/business PC
Upgradeable mid tower
Quiet / unobtrusive
Sub $1000 budget
System specs:
NZXT Phantom 410, white
Gigabyte F2A88XM-D3H
A8 5600K
CoolerMaster Hyper T4 cooler
2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws X (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
Corsair VS450 PSU
2TB 7200RPM Toshiba HDD
Windows 8
This is the first socket FM2 build I have done. I chose the AMD platform primarily to keep costs down, and it seems like an impressive system so far considering there's no dGPU in sight. Instead of opting for a cheap graphics card, we chose to keep it without one to eliminate wastage further down the track. If in a few months he wants to add a 7850 or something he will end up with what I'd consider to be a neat little entry-level gamer.
