What's your budget and intended use?

Firstly, you have no dedicated Graphics card so gaming will be horrible and probably unplayable with some titles
Then you have selected a 120GB KINGSTON V300 SSD which is utter pants. Get a Samsung if you can
Thirdly, change the PSU to a bit stronger just in case you upgrade something in the future, a 650w 'Modular' one would be ideal

As for the gaming side of things if it's not being used for gaming then it doesn't matter. I agree with the SSD, get a different SSD as the V300 has issues.

The PSU depends on if he needs a graphics card and if so which one. Majority of GPUs only need 550w, but as i said, it does depend.

Yea but always a good idea to get a beefier PSU as he may not want a dedicated GPU now but may change his mind a little later and the cost difference is not a lot if done same time as the build.

Depends if they're at all interested in a GPU, also using a PSU that's bigger than needed makes efficiency worse

Thank you guys for your replies
I will be installing a graphics card when compt is delivered
I want to get a good core foundation that will have longevity
I can change graphics cards etc over time easily
but not CPU etc

I appreciate the advice about the PSU and SSD
I will adjust my build accordingly

I have a realtively low budget
I want a rig that will manage gaming
Not necessarily AAA at ultra specs
But able to manage most games going forward for few years
In other word I dont want to fall too far behind too quickly

I want to stay as close to €1000 as I can

I am not a AAA-ultra settings guy
I dont expect Ferrari performance etc
Just a good solid machine that will last a few years
and wont be completely obsolete too soon

I tend to play games a couple of years after they are released
when they are patched and stable and prices are falling
I prefer RPGs and strategy titles

I have adjusted the PSU and SSD

I have added a graphics card
