There is no significant difference between i5 and i7 when it comes to gaming. So why does your friend insist an i7? You can do a simple google search and show him the benchmark result.

This will rock your friends off for all the games at max settings.

Ram may go 1600mhz instead as B85 limitations to 1600mhz only. But up to you as it is only $2-3 away.
