Probably the motherboard for one of better quality, and the PSU. Monitor could get Freesync for that card. And £10 over budget gets the Ryzen 2600 in which is definitely worth it.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £314.91(includes shipping: FREE)
​

+ Ryzen 2600 £146.99
+ Corsair CX450M (grey label not green) £47.99

Total £509.89

After taking a look on OC myself I would have most likely put something like the above together, its about as good as you will get for around the £500 mark, personally I would change to a different case (no offence) but there's little to no point in windowing this build and the saving would put you back the right side of the £500 budget you quoted.

i didnt see the WDB 500gb ha, if you get that instead you keep it under £500, look for a 2nd hand monitor if you need one.​

intel side of things.

only ryzen 2600x overclocked to 4.2ghz all cores would match its performance (need aftermarket cooler) matched with ram at 3466hz which is normally Samsung B-Die and a good board!
