That's a seriously tight budget, you might be better off looking at the second hand market or a console.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (SKU: MY-0AK-TG) = £35.99
• 1 x Gigabyte B550M DS3H (AMD AM4) B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-5BR-GI) = £94.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Six Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3D2-AM) = £124.99
• 1 x Kolink Inspire Series K6 ARGB Micro-ATX Case - Black (SKU: CA-047-KK) = £29.99
• 1 x WD Blue SN580 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-WDC-00540) = £65.99
• 1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 Pulse Gaming 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-02Y-AM) = £248.99

Total: £612.92 (includes delivery: £11.98)​

I'd really try to increase the budget to around £800, that way you could move to a more modern platform like AM5 and pop in a better GPU such as a 6700XT. If that's too much of a push, at least another £50-60 on a 6700XT would still be massively worthwhile, especially given the resolution of your monitor.

Thank you .. really appreciate it.. I’ll see about his budget, if he can increase.. if he can to £800 what changes would be best for the build?
