Thoughts on new build

I have an ageing PC and want to start getting back into gaming, I have a Corsair 720w power unti, a 512 Samsung Pro SSD but the rest needs updating.

Managed to source it at £189? Is this the price point I should be looking at? Thanks for all the input guys.

£10 i can handle, would the stock cooler be sufficient? I can then put that money into the GPU? Or is that cutting cost where I shouldn't be
