Hey guys! I am helping my friend's dad to build a PC (he is a sole proprietor) and i am wondering is this computer good enough? 

CPU + MOBO = 279$ (h87mg43 and i3 4150)
GPU = 209$ (ASUS 750)
SSD = 175$ (samsung evo 840 250gb)
HDD = 70$ (seagate 1tb)
PSU = 74$ (g500w)
Case = 90$ (elitle 130)
RAM = 102$ (2x4gb KINGSTON RAM)
TOTAL = 999$
(all the cost is in SGD) 
My friend said that he doesnt have a budget but i am trying to help him to save cost and i am buying everything in singapore!

The BBQ: i7-4770 / 212x / Tri-X R9 290x 1075/1400 / MSI H87-G43 GAMING / EVGA G2 850W / Corsair Spec 03 / Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD / Toshiba 2TB HDD / 8gb Kingston DDR3 1600mhz

Don't get the ssd and get a hybrid so you can upgrade your GPU or CPU, perhaps to a 270 or an i5 4460.

But the SSD is so much faster and he really wants performance (in terms of speed) out of it
