Seems fine. Main thing is if the mobo can take 2 nvme cards and looks like it can. The PSU is almost definitely overkill, without a proper GPU he could probably get away with a 600w one. When you say home lab, I assume it's some kind of development like databases? Because running LLMs will want a GPU with huge dram, graphics will want a proper GPU, I can't think of much that doesnt.

As others have said, this person needs to decide what they want the machine to do first, the spec cannot be reviewed without this context, other than demonstrating the person doesn't understand enough to spec.
e.g. they have specced a fairly expensive overclocking-enabled CPU (which is of minimal/dubious benefit these days, and is extremely inefficient in terms of power cost), but the motherboard doesn't support CPU overclocking.

A friend's "home lab" spec. Care to comment on it?
I've not used MSI motherboards or GSkill ram and have no idea if most of the components play well together, hence asking for opinions..
