There will be better PSUs available, such as XFX TS, XTR, EVGA B2/GS and so on

Any other recommendations? Thanks for the PSU advice looking at it as we speak.

Any XFX, most Antecs that use a Seasonic OEM, any EVGA GS/G2/B2

 

Looks nice i see no problem. The PSU will be enough but you can always spend more money ;)

You can get better for the money in most cases hence the recommendation :)

Thank you sir i changed it ;) except the PSU wich build do you consider ''better'' for gaming

Try look for an R9 270, it's just an underclocked R9 270X and is often cheaper.

Hey colligo2,
 
The build looks pretty nice. I would consider a better GPU if your friends wants to play newer games at higher settings. 
Depending on what your friend will be upgrading, you can downgrade the CPU and get a better GPU now, or save some money on a smaller SSD and PSU and get a better CPU with a motherboard now and leave the GPU upgrade for a latter point in time for better future-proofing the build. 
I really like the storage solution :)
