Default A Brand New Build! Need Help Please!

Ok so heres the deal, my friend has asked me for my opinion on a new computer, and ive told him more or less what to get. What i do need help with is the cooling, i need someone to help me out and tell me some good cooling kits, and if you can check the rest of this build ive layed out for him. Hes looking for a gaming computer, so ive set him out with the basics, he's looking for things that are over lockable but cheap, so this is what ive chosen so far, your opinions please. Oh and also he doesnt want to spend much more than £1000, but im asuming is going to go over that.

Thanks
