Thanks for the help! I've made some changes so that'd fit the white/black theme, how's this? Also, I've just remembered a wifi card is a must for his situation.

Hey, I'm helping my friend build a gaming pc, his budget is £1200 and lives in the UK, its primarily going to be used for gaming and that's pretty much it, he currently plays a lot of Apex legends and Rainbow six siege, but his current PC is really starting to really struggle with running these games and he wants to play a lot of the newer games such as battlefield 5 etc.
Pretty much none of the parts apart from a 120gb SSD is being salvaged from the old PC
He's planning on getting a new monitor in the near future, It'll more than likely be at least a 1440p monitor at 144hz or higher. 
The PC needs to have the following requirements: stick to a black and white theme, have a AIO water cooler and either a network card or a built-in network card on the motherboard. 
So far I've come up with the following... Please let me know of any recommendations or changes I should make to the parts list. Thanks in advance!

Its absolutely idiotic to use a AIO for a build of this price point, especially one with a locked i5-9400F which will barely see an improvement in performance over a stock cooler

He really wanted one, I'll try and convince him to go for air or even a 8600k instead.

My build would probably do him much better, the 9400F makes no sense at all.

Here ya go, get a 2080 and Ryzen 2600 and get better performance and more cores.. Just add an AIO later when you get more money. The stock fan is good enough until then.

This will absolutly destroy your other build, and was even able to fit in a RTX 2080 and Water Cooler. Even if there were a couple cuts to keep it down

Thanks for the help! I've made some changes so that'd fit the white/black theme, how's this? Also, I've just remembered a wifi card is a must for his situation.

I wouldn't get the Pro4 over the Tomahawk. The price difference isn't really that much and the Tomahawk is way better and has a way better chance at handling an upgrade over the Pro4. There's a reason you never see a bad review for the Tomahawk.

This build would perform better and is even more black and white (black and white motherboard, black and white GPU, white RAM, black cooler) albeit it's slightly more expensive. This will also give you more SSD storage:

The 9400F handily beats the 2600 across the board so I'd say it's worth the extra 40 pounds. The most noticeable differences for 60 FPS gaming is in Hitman and GTA V, both of which have dips below 60 on the 2600 and maintain above 60 on the 9400F (although the 9400F also has a dip or 2 below 60 in Hitman, but when that happens, the 2600 dips even lower to the high 40's):
