So my cousin came recently asked me if i could build a pc for him, he had the requirements that it had to be: transportable, small, preferrably squared, able to last and have some of the newer components. 

From what i know he'll be using it for gaming, his steam contains 200ish games so it's fair to say that he'll be playing abit of everything. 
On top of that, he specified that he wanted to use 12.000 Danish Krones on the build, that equals to 1887 USD, but i should also make it clear, that some components cost more here in denmark than what they'd usually cost around the world. the pcpartpicker is with prices that i've defined from Danish shops.

Lastly the PSU, SSD (120 for system) and Windows are the things he's reusing, it isnt actually a bronze psu, but he werent able to specify anything but the fact that it were a 500W, hence why they're either not listed or are showing a price o 0

I would get a Corsair CX550M instead of the EVGA 500B.

 

Other than that, all looks good.

Skip the K series CPU on an H series board, Go i7-8700 instead.

That is an 8700.
