A friend of mine is looking to upgrade his current PC. In fact, it's such an old PC, it's not really worth the upgrade in my opinion. So I've told him I can build him a PC from scratch. There is a catch however, keep the budget below £400!
He's given me a list of requirements which he'd like the PC to perform.
1.) Perform day to day tasks such as web browsing and document editing, YouTube etc
2.) Have the capability to play casual e sports titles such as league of legends and Rocket League, medium setting at 1080p for example
3.) To run a Plex server and stream to a maximum of 2 devices
4.) Linked with number (3), Primary location for media storage. So far he's got 3TB worth but would like to increase this over the next couple of years
Now, I'm not a fan of building cheap budget systems. It's a constraint you can do without in my opinion. So I've put together a list of parts that I think could do the trick. However I'd like a second opinion from the experts here, perhaps come up with a different build altogether...?

This parts list doesn't include a case or power supply as I'm going to delve into purchasing a case with PSU combo. It's the first time I've done this in a build as I'm quite sceptical on the quality of the PSU, however I'll give it a shot. Unless someone out there has a very good reason not to go with a case with PSU combo.
The link for the case/psu combo is here http://www.ebuyer.com/713418-cit-qua...rt-quartz-usb3
The total price comes to £363 roughly.
