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.

He will need a case (but those are about $50) and the OS system, we have mouse's and keyboards and he's thinking about getting a decent monitor for the game. Will plugging the desktop in via HDMI to a HDTV look good?

We'll probably get the GTX 570 like someone below mentioned, and get a good i7 processor....BTW does the more memory a graphics card have = it being better?

Now what kind of motherboard would work with the above? 

And what do we need for a power supply and fans and all that stuff?
