If you are spending 25k, then why go for a low end Core i3 based system. They are underpowered (because of only 2 Physical core and low cache size).
Opt for an AMD based system which can perform far better than your Core i3 based system and almost equal to Core i5 750 quad core based system, which is very pricey.

Did your friend already purchase the processor? If no, then just stop him, as Core i3 is not for gaming.

yes he has already bought the processor.(from U.S)

he is not a hardcore gamer.so i3 based rig is enough.

Biostar TH55B HD is compatible for i3/i5 & i7
*www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/t-series/introduction.php?S_ID=466

I think Biostar TH55B HD is better than Intel DH55TC but Intel has 5.1 Channel Audio Support where as Biostar has only 3x Audio Connector i.e. 2.1 Channel Audio Support

both are same. just i5 650's core clock high as well as the integrated GPU clock. no difference. so a H55 mobo will be just fine.

go for Intel Original H55 if your friend doesn't plan to OC.

with FSP Saga II 400W/Gigabyte 460W, you can add a maximum is HD5670. over it, i won't advice. can add HD5750. but still it'll be close.

about second option i'll just say, STAY AWAY from CM Extreme Power series. just stay away, unless u got habit of blowing or frying your own PC.
