If you're getting the 4770k, that means you'll be overclocking, in which case you probably want an aftermarket cooler, I'd suggest the Hyper 212. If he doesn't intend on overclocking, he should just get the 4770, but even then, you probably want the cooler to be safe.

he says he's not intending to overclock it, but he'll probably get it to be sure. Is there any internet access with the current setup, or will he have to get a wifi card?

An 850w PSU seems a little overkill. I think 700w would be fine.

he only really needs over 600 if he's gonna be doing sli or crossfirex, 550 or around that should suffice

99% of Mobo's have an RJ-45 connector on them for internet access. This motherboard does not come with a wifi card from the looks of it though. So if he's looking to connect directly into his router (hoping it's a router) via an ethernet cable, he can, but if he's looking to use wireless, then he has to get a wifi card.

Hyper 212 for this build is dumb. Spend a little extra cash for a nice phanteks or noctua HSF

I would look into getting an solid state driver, at least for the OS. That shits the best. Also, on the topic of power supplies, I had a similar setup, and the 550w one I had wasn't enough. It also helps performance to have a larger power supply.

Instead of an MSI graphics card, I would get the EVGA version. They have pretty identical temperatures and noise levels, but EVGA has better customer support.

I agree regarding the SSD, and also, it's called a "Solid State Drive"

850w is a overkill like everyone has said already.(unless you want to run 2 or more gpu's or many HDD's)
If he isn't looking to overclock, that motherboard is a overkill.
That case doesn't look big for a mid-tower case, maybe have a second look at this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139008
Maybe switch out the ram for a g.skill kit?(should be cheaper and overclocking should be easier with them)

I would say keep the 850W PSU. Just leaves more options in the future if/when it comes to upgrading parts and means you won't need to upgrade the PSU at the same time...

Getting a giant overpowered PSU is more of a liability then future proofing (Which is pretty silly in my opinion, you can pretty much always get the same specs for cheaper if you wait anyways). Go with a 550/600W PSU, you'll save +/- $50.

Disagree, the whole point of the haswell chips is to draw as little power as possible, I'll be surprised if this configuration even draws over 500w under heavy load. for SLI a 650w should be fine. Also, by the time you upgrade you might not actually get the correct connectors anymore, it's better to upgrade than to hold on to a old PSU.
The network adapter is a weird choice, is it for back-up in case the on-board breaks? Either way I would suggest a PCI-e slot net card like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106033
Unless you want it to occupy one of your PCI x16 slots?
Last point, I really don't recommend getting K-series CPUs if overclocking is uncertain. Results can often be a bit disappoint if you don't win the silicon lottery.

What? You're paying $10 for the opportunity to overclock in the future, he may change his mind; you can always buy an aftermarket cooler, however, buying another processor isn't practical.
