That would be a waste of the money.

2 Sound cards, why?

a 780 is OTT.

One stick of 8GB RAM is odd, a daul channel set 2 x 4GB will work better.

This is what i'd do:

Or another option could be one of the motion tracking things, not sure how well they work, you/your friend would have to have a read but in theory could work quitte well for him.

That looks like a really intresting bit of gear, I would love to see how it works in the gaming world. I personally think it will be a bit slow but what a great way for people to interact with their PC.

And no love for the big shinny orange thing? :(
 
ok so after taking your advice I have come up with this does that look ok? I will let my friend decide on what mouse
