Need a quick review on a building for a friend.

So my friend recently bought a laptop be planned to game on (it had a gtx sticker, but it was a 920m) and is now disappointed. It will now likely be used for schoolwork and such. He is gonna be playing on 1080p and will probably be happy enough with 40fps on medium settings on all games (me and him are both used to horribly low framerates, around 10fps on 768p), but I'd like to give him more than that. He has no set budget but would like it to be less than 1200. I am in NZ but ordering parts from the US is almost always a better option for full builds. I will order the case from here, and have some spare DDR4 lying around (which just happens to be red). I chose that cooler just because it kinda fits the colour sheme and there isn't much reason not to.

Here is what I drafted:

On another note, this friend is always buying tech stuff without consulting me. He's gone through 3 laptops, all of which have mediocre specs. There are so many great options out there, if he could just ask! I had to pretty much force this proposal in his face, but now he's interested.
