Build For a Friend

[KBH]

Hi everyone,

My friend has asked me to build him a computer for about £500.

He wants to be able to play games at medium to high settings at 1080p (Fallout 4 being the main game),

Just wondering if there is anything better I can do with this build to make it better/Cheaper

Thank you in advance <3

I'd say drop the SSD and grab a better GPU. Fallout 4 is pretty demanding...
