Easiest to setup will be Android mini TV Box - MK808 B Plus (plus it will make your LCD/LED TV smart) available on ebay for less than 4k

Am running a raspberry pi setup , transmission got it off olx for 1.5k works brilliantly with a usb power hub , as I have a 1tb external attached to it along with wifi. Its a brilliant standalone setup , can be used to do a lot more than just downloading and for a cheap price .

GreenIndiaElectronics has an eBay shop. I bought it from there(used a coupon code + Mobikwik cashback to buy it at a reduced price).

I bought the Sony CP-AD2 charger for the RPi. I bought the version with 1.5m cable. But I think it is better to buy the one which has a 0.5m cable. I feel that my RPi 2 does not get the full 2.1A power input (more cable length = more resistance which causes drop in power output)

Hi I am using banana pro which I got from eBay it has a sata connectivity which u can use.but if you are using 3.5 inch hdd you have to give external power supply.2.5 inch can be operates from banana pro.I had the raspberry but I removed it from service because RPi share same chip for ethernet and usb which reduces its transfer speed.

Based on user experience I suggest banana pro with open media vault
If OP knows ssh and comfortable with it then RPi is the best otherwise banana pro with open media vault because RPi doesn't support it
Why do you need ssh for using RPi?
Raspbian provides a GUI anyway. He can attach the RPi to a TV and install VNC. After installing VNC, he can see the screen of his RPi using any VNC client.
