Hey people it's been over a decade since I built a PC so could do with a little help cheers in advance.

Below is a list of the components I've purchased.

MSI MAG Z590 Gaming Carbon WiFi MB
2 x 8gb Corsair Vengeance Ram Sticks
1tb SSD
32inch Samsung 4k HD Screen
Intel i5 6500 3.2ghz cpu(I know this is low my budget is crap)
GameMax Black Diamond Case
Cooler Master 212 Hyper LED Fan

I could do with help on the PSU to buy my budget is upto £70
but I know people will come back talking about the CPU again if people can recommend a budget CPU maybe a refurb or can I use the current i5?
Thanks in advance.

Edit:
I'm not running any gpu atm until I can salvage one.

Are you sure you have listed the board correctly as the z590 supports 10th and 11th gen intel core and not the old i5 6500 which is lga 1151 and the z590 is lga 1200?
 
The i5-6500 was something I had left over from a previous setup last minute I upped my budget on the motherboard. Cheers for pointing that out unsure were I've thought it was 12xx could you recommend a decent cpu will have to be a refurb I have no plans for a gpu due to the stupid prices budget say £120 or less preferably but if I have to go higher for it to carry the weight of use for mainly photoshop/video editing then I will. Thanks.

Also thanks for the PSU suggestion that's what I was looking for.

I think what he means is that the i5 won't work with the board you've got, it's maybe the same socket but that doesn't mean it's compatible with Intel systems.

Maybe an 11400k/11600k would be budget friendly
 
For (above) your budget as recommended above there is only one option that fits your needs

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £158.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)

Second hand are even going for the same price roughly as new :(

Alternativly the 11400 (Non-F) or 11500 has built in graphics so that would solve your gpu problems until you can get something decent.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £197.69 (includes shipping: £8.70)​

Spending a lot on a motherboard then using a budget CPU makes little sense, you'd be best with a cheaper board and more powerful CPU as the board adds very little performance compared to the CPU.
