Since your bro's most intensive usage is gaming, go for Intel instead since Intel will provide faster performance in games:
$130 - Intel Core i3-4130 CPU
$73 - MSI B85M-G43 Intel B85 mATX Motherboard

That PSU is a tad low for a card like the GTX 660. So I recommend this PSU instead for $11 more:
$61 - XFX Core Edition PRO550W 550W PSU

That Kingston RAM in your list is overpriced since this slightly faster Kingston RAM is $10 cheaper:
$70 - Kingston HyperX Blu KHX1600C10D3B1/8G 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM
