Used from eBay

I would consider the Ryzen 5 3600 instead at the same price. Far better memory controller, IPC thats more akin to modern 6 core gaming CPUs, and its easier to cool. Most listing even comes with its stock cooler, and that will save us 12 pounds, or give us more budget to expand our range for CPU choice.

Unless if its significantly cheaper, buy new just like the SSD. not many meat of saving to be had. For Fortnite i highly recommend taking the jump to 32GB if you wanna multitask.

newer titles

nope, wont be enough. Get a full terabyte. Exceria G2 is a slightly better SSD (even though really 55-60GBP is where you wanna spend the money for a long lasting SSD) and its only 12 pounds more.

Make sure it doesnt say "2048SP" on it as that one is the cut down chinese version thats more akin to RX 570 and RX470. cross shop that with the GTX 1650 Super, RX 5600XT, GTX 1660 non Ti, and GTX 1070.

spare 600w PSU

What model? Beggars cant be choosers but can be a good to know if you want to shove a better PSU in there.
