He will not overclock...is the psu is enough for running i7+ hd 7870 combo? and does he need the cooler for stock i7 3770?

Avoid Seasonic for warranty/availability/RMA issues. Get Corsair GS600 -
CORSAIR SMPS-600GS

And yes... its better to have cooler for stock CPUs since the one provided by Intel is a horror story.

i heard the GS series got issues ..dont know right or wrong ..if not seasonic then will go for corsair tx550.

Why do you need an i7 for a gaming rig ?
Take an i5 and upgrade the gpu.

Fantastic choices mate. Both the rigs are very good. I would like to mention a few changes though especially for your friend's rig.

Don't spend close to 10k on an h77 motherboard. Instead get this locally for your friend.

Gigabyte GA-H77-DS3H Motherboard - Gigabyte: Flipkart.com

Its equally good and might be cheaper too locally. Now from the money saved , your friend can get a better gpu like yours.
Probably also try to include the tx650-v2 in your friend's rig.

Both can also cut down on the speakers and opt for F&D 680 for around 3.5k. It had some very good reviews.
