Is slightly over, 3 Fans for the intake, will need to remove the optical drive bay, 1 for the exhaust. 4 headers on the mobo so you wont need a fan controller. I have the monitor, havent had any issues, also keyboard and mouse should work perfectly, also you should be able to source windows 10 OS off kinguin for cheap. Hope your friend likes this (:

This is definitely the best suggestion on this thread. However, I'd make a few tweaks.

I wouldn't bother with Ryzen 7 honestly, an R5 1600 will be fine for gaming and music production. Better motherboard, the white won't clash with a red colour scheme but if you're against that motherboard for any reason, I'd get the MSI X370 SLI Plus instead. The AsRock board is still better though. Enthoo Pro M is a good choice, Eclipse P400S is a nice alternative and you can get the P400S in Black/White, all black, or Black/Red(among other colours, but one of these 3 would be best suited for this situation). Larger SSD, and a better keyboard/mouse. I also dropped those god awful fans. If you want to add/upgrade case fans at any point, Be Quiet! Silent Wings 3, or Pure Wings 2 are my go to's, both solid options.

That's perfect thanks I'll pass these 2 onto him and see what he wants to do excluding the fans of course
