Friends gaming PC

[factory100023]

So, my friend needs a better pc in order to play his favourite games at playable frames

He has a very tight budget.

So here is what i came up with:

Athlon 860k

CX430

Western digital 1tb

DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400 CPU Cooler

GIGABYTE GA-F2A68HM-H FM2+ AMD A68H 4 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

GIGABYTE Radeon R7 360 GV-R736OC-2GD 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready ATX Video Card

Team Dark 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model TDKED38G1600HC9DC01

Will this be enough to play most games at medium settings 1080P and get 40-60 fps?

Please let me know what i should change, also he wants a blue themed build to go along with his Blue case and Blue LED case fans.

May i ask what your budget is, and your location/currency, because i cannot be very accurate without some specifics

Does he have any decent parts he can salvage from his old pc? that could save him a bit of money, but if need be i can find one of those r7 360s you mentioned.

Does he still have his old OS? If so, did he want an upgrade? I'm assuming the OS was pre WIN7
