Kingston A400 240GB M.2 SSD SA400M8/240G = 2570

Note: Don't skimp on the SSD or PSU. Also, DVD drives are obsolete and don't add one to this build. Looking it as a low end system, he should be fine with just a single stock case fan.

Ah, I thought he had a 21" Dell monitor. Should've bought G5400+ ssd intead of i3 8100 as the two processor would perform almost the same given the nature of intended tasks.

Corsair has degraded their psu quality for beginners ever since they started cost cutting by removing seasonic from their company. My Corsair VX450W is still running like a champion from 2009 which according to Johnnyguru is capable of delivering 500w and has a solid built from seasonic. Cx is no match for it. Only high end psu of corsair are still made by seasonic i think.

My dad's PC have this same PSU since 2009. Still no problems whatsoever.

Indeed but it is still the best budget option. @chimera201 recently posted a link for review of corsair cheapest VS450 & it is still alright for its price.Nowadays Corsair CX series is the minimum recommended & only series above it to recommend in similar/next higher price range price is Antec Earthwatts gold pro assuming you get the latest version with 7 years warranty logo on the box(mdcomputers definitely sells this version but not sure about others,somebody confirmed on reddit that it is not this version on amazon India).
