You're going to want to go with an AMD build here, maybe something like an FX 4100 and a 7950.

look at an FX 6300 or 8320 (if you can fit it in) as they offer better performance compared to an i3. Also try and get a 7850/7870 more powerful then a gtx 650. SSD's are worth it as well...

PC: Corsair C70 Arctic, FX 9370, Corsair H80i, Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3, Corsair Vengence 16gb, Palit JetStream GTX 970, OCZ Vertex 4 128gb and Western Digital Blue 1Tb + 500gb, Antec Gamer 520w

6300 is like $30 more...

True, if he can afford it he should definitely go for that. But I would make the priority the 7950, since that will make the biggest difference while he's gaming.
