pcpartpicker is a fantastic resource...  They have hundreds of builds that are in all sorts of price ranges...  for instance this $520 build is a great place to start and then give it a shot yourself.

Gives you an idea of all the parts you need at a minimum, compatibility issues, and rough pricing.

5800x + 6700xt + 16gb 3600c18

 

It is a tad overbudget but you can do abit of haggling and chip off a few pounds off the prices, yes youll have to buy a used case, 30£ on a new case that problably wont even have any airflow is simply not an acceptable amount to waste at this budget

 

Btw you can just tell which town/city you are in and (if you can do some pickups) pickup range, cause i set the search range to newcastle upon tyne 500km so basically the entirety of the uk, just the town/city no need for address cause thats just doxxing yourself

You'll want a 8GB gpu, so I included that. I wanted to go for a Ryzen 5 4500, but you'll want a better cpu to handle those games, so I had to go a little over the budget.

I would be looking at used hardware personally for that price point. Can I ask why the need for ryzen? an i3-12100 can be had new for under $100 with 4c/8t at 4.3GHz and will run esports and most free titles just fine.

The i3 performs worse than the 5500 and the 5500 can be had for less than 100 pounds new too. The mobos are normally cheaper too (not by much but every pound counts in a budget build)

 

And @Cereal_PC Builder @Somerandomtechyboi made the best build but it does have used parts, tho it’s not that bad to but used. @GeorgeMKane has the best new build if you don’t wanna go used
