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 6600 Pulse Gaming 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-39R-SP) = £199.99
• 1 x Super Flower Leadex III ARGB 550W 80 PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply - Black (SKU: CA-063-SF) = £71.99

Total: £635.92 (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 £100 on a 6700XT would still be massively worthwhile, especially given the resolution of your monitor. PSU options on OCUK are sadly very limited at the moment, they used to have a be Quiet! System Power 10 600w for under £40 which is a solid budget option.

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?

I've updated my post to fit in a PSU, still I'd seriously look at either an Xbox or an increased budget.

Similar to Gray's list, but the case I've chosen has 3 fans meaning you won't have to get additional fans (the kolink in his list only has a single fan) and I've included a bronze psu

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Six Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3D2-AM) = £124.99
• 1 x Lexar Hades 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C18 3600MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit (LD4BU008G-R3600GD0H) (SKU: MY-019-LE) = £37.99
• 1 x KIOXIA EXCERIA G2 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-TSH-00981) = £53.00
• 1 x Aerocool CS-107 v2 FRGB Mini Tower Case - Black (SKU: CA-23F-AE) = £28.99
• 1 x Gigabyte B550M DS3H (AMD AM4) B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-5BR-GI) = £94.99
• 1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 Pulse Gaming 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-02Y-AM) = £248.99
• 1 x Aerocool Integrator 600W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (SKU: CA-23P-AE) = £34.99

Total: £631.93 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

£800 doesn't get you much better, would probably be best spending on a GPU, but that would take you to my list above but with a 7700xt

 

[Gray2233]

6700XT's can be had for £280-320 or so, which I would lean towards along with 32gb of RAM instead of 16gb. It'd be that or a modern platform like AM5 but keeping the 7600, which would have better long term prospects for upgrades.

You could also put in an offer for this:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x B Grade Asus Radeon RX 6750 XT ROG Strix OC 12GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: BG-9ML-AS) = £319.20

Total: £323.20 (includes delivery: £3.99)​

I'm sure someone mentioned getting one for close to £200 recently. Just hold in mind that OCUK only offer a 3 month warranty on B grade items.
