Overclockers build, or self build

Hi

Looking at the overclockers build
Intel 10th Generation Comet Lake, Intel Core i3 10105F Quad Core, Intel H510 Motherboard, Up to 32GB 3200MHz Memory, SSD/HDD, 7.1 HD Audio, 500W 80 Plus Bronze Rated PSU, Windows 10, Micro-ATX for £599
Is this a decent spec with good upgrade possibilities in a few yes, or should I build my own? I've changed power boxes, graphics cards and ram before but never built one from scratch...
If you would recommend a self build, what would you recommend for £599?
I already have a corsair rm850 power supply which is unused (needed it to try and bring my old one to life but the PC ist kaput

Thanks in advance

I'll be using it for games, New World etc. Not streaming, not FPS as haven't got the reflexes for that anymore!
Graphics card on my old machine asus GTX650 so a little old now

Oh and I'm a touch nervous about installing the OS, which is the only bonus for someone building it for me

Well, I'm game for a go, so any advice on a build? For gaming New World, not fps, have a psu (if its any good) for circa 500-600. Most likely will upgrade bits every 6/12 or so, or longer if its expensive !

Hi Gents, thanks for the two options!
I see neither of them have a separate graphics card, are integral GPUs good nowadays? I'm assuming I can always add one in later when I can find a decent priced one?

I do notice that both the suggested cpus are currently out of stock..

I did see this, but think I'd need a graphics card?
AMD RYZEN 5 5600X SIX CORE 4.6GHZ (SOCKET AM4) PROCESSOR - RETAIL £269.99

What chip would you recommend thats in stock, and what gpu is good value for money at the mo, even second hand. Planning to source this ASAP.
