This is a farily dated sytem.  I don't know what intentions you have with it.  I can only give you one big advice and that is get a SSD ...... or else its going to be a really slow system.  The SSD will give it life and get rid of bottleneck.

The only point of the system is so that he stops asking to use mine. Also, personalty, I don't think that hard drives are that slow, I don't have an SSD in my build.

I would also recommend going for a Ryzen 3 2200G over the 1200 as it will only be like an extra £20.

I would also conisder upgrading your RAM to atleast 2600Mhz as Ryzen works better with faster memory.

The 2133MHz RAM is cause it is just lying around from before I upgraded to 16GB.

Dude, my friend please please listen to me.  Spend 80 bucks and get a 240GB SSD.  Don't say hard drive isnt slow.  I remember when I had my Core 2 Quad and when I put the SSD in gave the system new life and sh*T loaded soo fast,, apps launch instantly , no hard drive thrashing.  Your making a big mistake not putting a SSD in there.  It is not that expensive ya know.  Or else it doesnt matter what CPU you have or RAM ,, your gonna have a big bottleneck with a crummy hard disk drive and what not.

I'm not the one paying for this, my brother is and he does not want to spend that much.

I might get him one later down the line.

Personally i would just get new memory rather than using slower memory that's just kicking about. Even if you just started with a new 8GB Kit.

I'd also agree with @Turtle Rig and get an SSD. Couped with an HDD It's worth it for the long run.

My plan is that because he has never had a decent computer, he wont notice some small sacrifices with the system performance.

Also, I am going to change the GTX 770 cause I just found out how muck power it draws.

What PSU are you using?

I'd also look into something like an RX 570 as an alternative graphics card.

This might be enough for a year or so, but after that you should definitely throw a gpu in there.

Also please spent £20 to get a 120gig ssd at least and put the OS on it (its like heaven, even if the games launch from a HDD)

I added an SSD to the list just after I posted that.

Not decided on the PSU yet cause I don't know how much power it will draw.

Then tell him you're not building it until you have a budget.
