You should look at a slightly more powerful PSU for the 7850, maybe a CX 500 at minimum. You'll probably want the modular one too (CX 500M).

If he can afford it, ditch the FM2 board and CPU and get a cheap AM3+ board and an FX-4300 CPU. That should be a bit better for gaming.

Frankly I think it looks good, but you have to upgrade the PSU. The CX430 only has one 6-pin GPU power cable, your GPU needs two. The CX500/CX500M have two GPU cables.
The case tho ;( Get this one instead, muuuuch better: NZXT Source 210
Should be a very good price/performance PC
I would add this too: Arctic Alpine 64 GT: $7
It's much quieter than the stock fan that's included with your CPU and cools a little bit better.
