OK :)

Budget (including currency): £250 GBP ($303 USD as of 29/10/23)

Country: United Kingdom - England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Programming/Testing Programming/(maybe Minecraft, idk)

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): 1080p 60hz - Not really an upgrade just my first custom pc - mouse and keyboard already here - Current part list https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DKz4pB or the US version https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DKz4pB

Honestly... I would look at used workstations or desktops from somewhere like this https://www.bargainhardware.co.uk/

 

You are not going to be able to build a PC with that budget 

[Needfuldoer]

Sorry to say, that budget is too tight for an entire PC's worth of new parts.

 

You can get something like an HP Z440 workstation and a GTX 1080 in your budget, if you shop used on eBay.

I like bargain hardware because they offer a year's warranty on all their stuff and the prices are decent, bought from them a few times and never had a problem

A used rx580, some 6 core 12 thread ryzen used like a 3600 and a kit of at least 2x8gb ddr4 3200mhz (3600 preferably) cl16 would basically be the best your budget can do as an upgrade for your current pc

A used z440 workstation with an e5 1650/1660 v3 (prefferably the latter) and overclock via throttlestop to ~4ghz

 

Used is the only option at such a low budget
