I already have case, SSD Samsung Evo, PSU Evga 500w, and 8GB of DDR3 which I will upgrade at a later date.

What do you guys think?

I see a 1060 3GB, and a Ryzen 5 1600 is in my price range. just need mobo.

I like high settings 1080p with 60+ FPS that can play most games.

Fallout 4

Euro Trucker 2

Overwatch

etc
 
Since you need CPU + RAM (since DDR3 won't work with an Ryzen 1600) + Motherboard + GPU, £500 is a bit of a stretch.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £559.01
(includes shipping: £11.10)

To save some money you could swap that motherboard + CPU bundle for:

To get the total price at £500 or below you would need to shop around, especially for RAM. 2nd hand might even been the best option. You could sell your 8GB DDR3 for ~£40 on ebay which would off-set the cost.

Also, I would recommend 16GB RAM but that really is stretching the £500 budget.​
 
Ah thank you

Didn't know that DDR3 will not work with Ryzen, you saved me some hassle there. I will go to 16gb eventually.

I like second option , so hopefully that will be okay?

DDR4 RAM is also needed for Intel. The i3 8350K will actually cost you about the same (£268, £281 or £284 vs AMD above at £278) depending on choice of motherboard.
 
Shipping puts you over mainly and the cheaper 6gb 1060 no in stock, maybe get a cheaper board to keep in budget, but you won’t get a Ryzen setup especially with 16gb ram new for £500 not on OC anyways.
