Looks like a solid gaming PC to me. If he's looking to cut corners, he could do with less RAM. 8gb would serve him fine, imo

Yeah I can always nitpick a build, but he already bought the parts I believe, and there were no serious blunders. Otherwise, I'd say save costs with a different motherboard and reallocate some money to a slightly better quality PSU, and the case doesn't need to be so big but that's mostly preference. And I might've suggested to just go Intel for a build of this caliber, to benefit from the superior single-threaded performance in certain games. But as it is, that build will rape 1080p 144hz.
