That's why case is the last thing to buy, so you won't need to suit the hardware so they fit the case.

What is your friend's budget and what does he want to do with the computer?

If you're building a new pc from scratch keep an eye on reddit.com/r/buildapcsales and see if any of the parts you're looking for go on sale.
Otherwise I wouldn't buy a part at a time, you might change your mind later on and regret something, buy it all at once. You could maybe buy RAM in advance, the price is rising on RAM and there isn't much variety there.
