Corsair CX 450M is a great budget power supply that will handle this system well.

Pentium G4560 would be great, does your friend have this motherboard already? He will need to update on it.

nope,he's just planning to buy it,I have read different threads regarding the conflict between Kaby Lake Processors and Skylake motherboards,maybe we'll ask for the help of store we are planning to buy it from. Is updating the motherboard easy? like, can it be done by my friend alone?

A B250 motherboard can be found for about the same price which will support the G4560. Your friend will require a Skylake processor to run on a B150 motherboard before he can update BIOS. Updating the bios is just a single download click from the manufacturer site and an auto installation so that's no problem at all. But the motherboard won't run without an update on a Kaby Lake processor.

You would need a skylake CPU to update the bios. Depends where you buy it but some places will update for you and also local pc shops will do it pretty cheaply.

so buying the B250 instead of B150 is more convenient if we're gonna get the G4560 right?

Yes, unless you can go to a local store which can add in a Skylake processor and update for you.
But I saw the price and I'm sure he can get a B250 motherboard in that budget, where is he buying from?
Also you can tell me the budget more precisely.

yeah the b250 would be the safest route to go.
