Get the Gigabyte B450I AORUS PRO WIFI instead. It's a little cheaper.($30ish less)

 

No point getting a hybrid drive, just get a Seagate Barracuda 2TB and maybe a 120gb kingston SSD as your boot drive.

 

Must he get such a small form factor case? Why not something a little bigger with better airflow and cooling options?

 

What's your budget in SGD? I can give you a part list from prices at Sim Lim(From Tradepac, they're located at #05-18 and usually have the best prices)

If I were to bargain I'd go for this(if they counter offer with anything that's below the original price then accept it, but if they quote a price higher than what I said then just ask for the regular price)

 

CPU/Mobo: ASRock B450M Pro4 + Ryzen 5 2600 - $330

Cooler: Stock Cooler - $0

If your friend likes RGB, you can swap out the case for a Tecware Nova M3, it's $55 and has RGB on the front panel.

 

BTW, Tecware has really good budget cases if you ever need to build another PC. The Tecware VXR is a cheap ripoff of the PCO11 Dynamic, the Tecware Nexus/Nexus M is a cheap ripoff of NZXT's H500 and H400 etc. I've built in their cases before, airflow is decent and build quality is surprisingly good for the price(they use proper tempered glass instead of acrylic).
