Sorry for being slightly over
7850 GPU is quite fantastic. You can easily overclock it and get quite staggering performance from it. 3570K processor is unlocked and can easily overclock to.
Case a good performing but I guess its rather subjective. I have this one and am happy with it. 8GB RAM is pretty much standard now and should be future proof, in terms of gaming, for a while.
The PSU is only 500W but I suspect it should easily be able to power this build. Motherboard is fairly basic, but will be fine for gaming and mild overclocking.
Unfortunately I could not fit a CPU cooler in this build, but unless your friend overclocks a fair bit it's not required

Smoogels spec is nice, I would change the PSU but only because i have become super paranoid about the Corsairs CX's.
If you had asked me 9 months ago, i would have recommended it to every other soul. Since then i have had 2 events of a surprise firework display and have since decided to switch to Seasonic or Seasonic re-brand's. The CX's are a re-brand of CWT, which i will still say are reliable but due to paranoia of repeating the firework display, i will trust no one but Seasonic. Just splitting hairs i suppose with these lower power builds.
I have love for the Corsair Carbide
