Not too bad but a couple of pointers;

Swap the CPU for one that has video.

Match the speed of the RAM to what the CPU can handle when XMP is enabled, the CPU in your build for example can only handle 2666MHz and enabling XMP would lead to boot problems or BSOD.

Change the secondary storage drive, Seagate are notoriously bad and be sure that any replacement is 7200rpm and has 64mb of cache.

Missing from the parts list is an OS such as Windows 10 or 11.

Okay thank you. One question tho. Can you give me the name or a link to a cpu that would be better choice than the one right now? I will swap out the storage and i have a windows installer usb at home and the cpu cooler will be selected later on. So if i can ask you please send me a cpu that would be a better fit to this setup thank you.

If you want to stick with the Intel build the non F version of the same CPU as that does have onboard video, if me though I would go for an AMD build(CPU and MB) if on such a tight budget, CPU benchmarks here

One thing that Intel don`t do is cheap, the AMD CPU is miles ahead and with only 10% of the amount of samples as the two Intel CPUs.

Thank you for that link you sent. I will ask my friend i he wanna stick to Intel or wanna switch to AMD. But if he sticks to Intel then the same cpu would be okay but the not F version if i get it right?

That is correct, never leave yourself with no back up video should your GPU fail, having onboard video also makes first time set up easier as Windows has generic video drivers for onboard graphics.
