Drop the i3 bro, i would recomend a amd x4 if you go cheap. As the amd is much faster for a reasonable price
You are missing a lot of stuff btw. You need a cpu cooler...

It would be ok for a while but with the newer games coming computer are needed a lot better specs i'd at least try getting the i5 2500k and maybe a 570/580 GPU.

At the same price, intel destroys AMD. And anyway, the i3 comes with a fan herp derp - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
He would then need to change motherboard...

Um, for the price, the i5 3570k is the same price - and it's newer?
570/580 what? Quadro FX? Nvidia GTX? The 7770 will be sufficient for him.
