Switch that 1x8GB memory to 2x4GB Dual channel, Maybe swap the GTX 960 to an R9 380 GPU. other from that looks good.

Why in gaming there is not difference between single and dual channel and because motherboard i picked for him is MATX he wont have an option to upgrade to 16gb in the future if he gets 2 sticks.

Cheapest r9 380 costs 30$ which is not worth it. you would also need better PSU which puts him even further over hes original build cost
