Hmm CPU, video card and RAM seems to be ok. I'll give you my advice: invest in a better cooled case (e.g.: cooler master HAF series, cm storm enforcer.... depends on his tastes, or you can choose another good brand but look at fan specifications and options for upgrade - more fans) and a high quality power supply [e.g.: corsair tx650v2, seasonic m12II 620W (that system needs clean power)].

Shit, I'm blind. Seems like a good PC - but I'm not too fond with the power supply and the tower you've chosen. You should've gotten Silver or Corsair as a power supply and a tower from Cooler Master - they're awesome.

Did you look into the GTX 560 Ti "Golden Sample"? I've seen a lot of good stuff about it.
