Need some help with choice of components

My neighbour wants me to build him a computer, he has already chosen the case a Corsair air 240.
As have not put one together for about 3 years I need some advice on what is best now.
He does some gaming but nothing intense.
He has a budget of £400.
So I am looking for a micro ATX motherboard, CPU, cooler, graphics card and PSU.
Looking at the Overclockers web page there is a confusing array, so any advice would be welcome.

As DDR4 is cheap now I will go with that.
He has a 240GB SSD and a 1TB SATA drive that will be re-used.
I forgot about the memory, told you I have been out of the loop for a while.
£400 is the maximum he can afford.

Thanks for that, it gives me a starting point.

Well I ordered the parts for the neighbours build and thought mine could do with an upgrade, so I not only spent £400 on his components but also spent £450 on some components for myself.
And all the parts are being delivered tomorrow, hope there are some Haribo in the packaging somewhere.
