You don't need a 750W psu. This 550W will do fine.

I would go with a 1070 or 1070 ti as that is fine for 1080p.

 

I don't trust that particular board after seeing an oc3d review of it. Maybe go with something like the Z370-A Prime instead.

If he buys from overseas then he will have to pay customs charges.
