Man a lot of people are building PCs at the moment
the i7 as long as it's sandy bridge will be much better for games than the AMD
I am not sure any reasonable graphics card can run the Witcher 2 "pretty much as good as possible" ATM "Ubersampling" is a killer but the game looks great on even a mid range card. A GTX 560 TI (make sure it's the Ti version) is probably the sweet spot at the moment for price/performance.
Other than that some more info like if he has or needs a case, mouse and keyboard, monitor, OS etc as that will affect what he can afford.
