For reference HEVC and VP9 shouldn't be much of an issue since the iGPU on Skylake can accelerate the decoding of those video formats.
No, I really meant it. His main videos type to watch is anime, since that kind of video only available 1080p by largest, the more he need to procure more powerful GPU, especially when there's the need to enable Image Doubling (We have the precedent issues about GPU usage, haven't we?).
Let's say if he has 480p videos to be played at resolution 1440p or 2160p. Unless he enables Image Doubling, it can be a bad experience.
And CPU of course, mainly watching anime doesn't necessarily not watching film movies. If there's a chance he has the 4K broadcast, it always nice to get room for performance.
That's why I said, "If larger than that", by "that" I meant was "monitor display resolution 1920x1080"
(I incorrectly posted "size" instead of "resolution" though, maybe that the reason of misunderstanding? 
)
PS: Oh I forgot adding it I don't know which CPU/GPU that considered powerful nowadays. So if your chosen CPU/GPU already powerful enough, that's it 
If by any means you can procure i7, that would be better
