Updated.
8GB is all that's needed here, its not all going to fit in budget anyway lol.

That Motherboard is for AMD Ryzen CPUs not Intel 6th Gen. You need a B250 Motherboard not B350. That Power Supply is fairly low quality i would opt for a good SeaSonic or EVGA 80+ Bronze for a little more. Other than that it would be a good Gaming build, consider changing both the Motherboard and CPU to a MSI Bazooka B250 (Decent and has 4 RAM slots for future upgrades) and a i5-7500 (newest generation and slightly faster). An i5-7500 + RX 480 8GB would be a great build for 1080p High/Ultra @ 60 FPS. Hope this helps :)

this is with the majority of the parts you chose.. to give you an idea of what it would probably cost... you might be able to save a few $s here and there by searching for bargains.. this is without an os keyboard mouse too.

you need to include his monitor! we have to assume he needs one because he listed it above . i guess if you removed the ssd and gave him an os plus a monitor and the extra 8gb of ram.. he'd have a decent build

agreed. the way i see it he is going to need about an extra $300 - $400 to get the kind of build he wants . that is why i did my build trying to stick to the parts he listed because i knew other people would provide him with builds within his budget but not at the same level as he wanted.. at least now he has a very good idea of what he can look to achieve.. if he has a monitor or tv already .. i would recommend he went with the kaby lake build.. because of the higher clock speed for less money although the boards are a little higher priced.. so it probably evens itself out for a better price to performance .

do you require any further help ? and it is what we are here for .. to share our knowledge :) and i of course should clarify that when i mentioned going with the kaby lake build.. i was referring to the i5 7500 cpu and b250 motherboard . whilst the g4560 is kaby lake it does not provide the same punch as the i5 7500 and i know because i own the g4560.
