Need help to build PC for friend

I’ve basically entirely rebuilt my current pc and have some hardware left over that i’m wanting to turn into a second build for one of my friends that can’t afford a PC. I need help finding some good budget parts to put into it to complete the build, i’ll list what i currently have and maybe you guys can help from there!

 

Case: just a pretty generic Xidax case that came with my pc when i bought it from them.

CPU: Intel i5-8400

RAM: Gskill 8gb 2666 mhz

PSU: Corsair 550W bronze rated (i think)

gonna throw in some peripherals as well

 

can you guys help me pick out storage, a GPU, and a MOBO?

What's your budget and what games?

I don't really have a defined budget. The more i can save the better. and mostly r6 siege, CSGO, COD maybe, various BR's like PUBG, Apex ect. stuff like that is what I assume he'll play the most

h110

not compatible with cpu. OP H310 should be a good cheap option

For storage I like having a small ssd, like 120gb, and only using it for the OS, then get a good 3-4TB hdd, they're fairly cheap

For graphics cards rx 580's are fairly cheap these days, or you can look for deals on the used market in your area

Thats right a SSD is a must have even if its a small one, have the OS and the software that you run the most there.

The 580, it's amazing card for the price at the moment, perfect for 1080p and future games.
