£500 pc

[Maykooc]

Budget (including currency): £500

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: general gaming and media course work

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): My friend wants to buy a pc with me but doesn’t know much about computers, I’ve offered to build it for her if she gets me the parts but she doesn’t know which parts to get, nor does she know what games she wants to run. She’s currently studying media at college and needs her computer to handle video editing and such, so any pc parts list with amd would be nice.

 Slightly more than 500 pounds but I think this rig should suit you quite well. If you need a monitor then compromises would need to be made.

RX 580 is only £17 more.

I would get this. The RX 580 + 3300x combo will outperform both the builds posted, the power supply is better than either of them (Kolink Classic v2 are high B-tier), and you get a tempered glass case. Also barely over budget.
