not bad..if you can try getting a h97 and and intel cpu. the intel cpu is better for gaming pc. also see if he can save up a little more money and get the 285 or the 760. there better gaming cards for 50.00 more.

Looks alright to me but I think that PSU is a bit overkill

my specs are 8Gb 2x4 gskill ripjaw x series 1333 ram FX-6100 3.3Ghz 3.7Ghz Turbo 6 core EVGA Nvidia GTX 750 Ti FTW GPU
550W PSU and for some reason everyone that I see talking about the 750Ti always says that you can only run games at medium setting well I for one disagree. That card my friend (with my setup) has let me play every one of my games new and old at high/ultimate mix settings with smooth gameplay and barely any stuttering. On world of warcraft I get 80-120 fps sometimes rarely will it ever go to 50 and thats only when I am fighting a world boss and there is 40+ people casting spells and doing there thing. for other games like Far Cry 3, Assassins Creed Black Flag, Call of Duty Ghost, all of the Dragon Ages including Inquisition, Wolfenstein the New Order, FFXIII, Aion, Tera, Tribes Ascend, Star Craft II, Metro 2033 and Last Light, SimCity 2013 and the new The Sims4, Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide, Dead Rising 3, and a few more graphics intensive games I cant recall but uninstalled. I played every one of thoughs games with very smooth gameplay and no stuttering but keep in mind my monitor is a little out of date so I run all games at 1280x1024 resolution but with all of thoughs games I have no problem playing and running also the EVGA 750Ti FTW runs very cool I have never seen the temp go above 52 celsius
So as far as that build goes from experience with the fx 6100 which is a step down from the 6300 and the GPU I would say that that build is pretty good but I would downgrade the PSU to a 500 or 550 just to save a few bucks

I do not recommend an FX-6300. There are many reasons/complications that come with the AMD budget processor. Only go with AMD if It's for budget graphics cards.

I recommend
CPU: Intel i3-4130/4150/4160
Motherboard: ASRock H97/H97M Anniversary

Also, for HDD you should go with the Seagate Barracuda 1TB-7200 RPM. The power supply you selected is not great by any means, cheap parts have been used to make those Corsair CX power supplies.

Here are the recommended budget components summed up:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($104.88 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($71.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($48.88 @ OutletPC)
Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($52.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $278.74
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

It would, one thing though. The S12II-520 is not directly compatible with Intel Haswell. You might have to do a work-around in bios settings. Its a simple fix of disabling the C7 sleep state but that is already disabled on many boards. If you have a problem with the PSU It's the C7 sleep state setting issue.
