So my friend was building a PC. Turns out he mixed an intel mobo with an AMD cpu. He registered now.
Silly stragon.
He'll either need an other motherboard or CPU, Intel mobo's don't support AMD processors.
Here's a motherboard, or a CPU for the correct socket.

The Asus M5A88-V EVO Motherboard says it's "AMD3+ Ready", so I'd assume that means it's fine for a PhenomII X6 1090T.
I've never heard of CiT before, so I would avoid that PSU. It's best to get a Corsair, Antec, Tagan or Enermax PSU.
The case looks fugleh, but that's just my opinion.
Other than that, it looks fine for a casual-moderate gamer on screen sizes up to 22". I assume you've already got a monitor, keyboard and mouse to use.
EDIT: Switching to a MSI P67A-GD53 motherboard and a Core i5-2500K should only cost around £20 more, and you'll get much more power out of it (for gaming that is).
