Shopping smartly you probably could get the am5 spec within budget.

The am4 platform isn't actually much cheaper, going for an am4 processor that's better than the 5600 pushes it into am5 territory and at that point you be better off going am5.

There is intel available I tried to spec an intel system but would only get you a raptor lake i3, before the price of CPU went too high and the am5 system would be imo be better performance for less cost.

A couple of Intel builds. I prefer the 7600 XT 16GB, but £350 is too much to pay for one and it downgrades the CPU.

Any reasonably priced 7600 XT 16GB will do. The options aren't great at this price (around £300) I'm afraid, which is maybe why they sold out.

Alternatively: you could look at an Arc A770 16GB, but I have no idea what the drivers are like with Fortnite.

I like this. You can get to the budget level by going for an AMD RX 6600.

I've manage to find place where graphic card were in stocks.
I'm so grateful to all of u for help and advise.
