First of all, with that resolution, the 580 is way overkill. I hope your friend knows that.

Second, is the GTX 580 and case included in the budget listed? If so amend the budget so we know what we have left to work with since we don' t know exactly how much you paid for them. Also, is that budget in US Dollars?

I would recommend grabbing the new i5-2500k in a couple of days. that will be around $220 US

P67 motherboard for around $150


8GB Ram ~ $100

PSU, 750 - 850W from Corsair, Antec, or Seasonic ~$110-150

HDD 1TB from Western digital, Seagate, Samsung ~$65

Use what is left in the budget to grab a 23-24" 1080p monitor ~ $170-200
That way he can actually use the card he wants.
