Building a pc

My son(13yrs) wants to build a new pc for himself ,i have agreed to buy the parts he wants as his christmas present .I don't know that much about the tech side of building pc's just the basics ,to be honest my son knows more than me and he has done a lot of research over the last couple of months .If possible i would like any of the techy guys on the forum to have a look at the list below and see if there are any problems which stand out .Many thanks in advance
