Less powerful CPU, much more powerful GPU and an SSD.

A bit over budget, so if you can't afford the extra 30 pounds get a board with 2 RAM slots. You can also consider getting a 120GB SSD instead of the hard drive if he doesn't need that space now and can get a hard drive later.

 

Chose the i5 so that if he ever considers getting a better video card in the future he will be well covered.

I am no expert but is this a good option:

Amd has 6 cores and clock speeds 3.50Ghz to 4.10Ghz

the gtx 1060 3gb has 1.6ghz clocks speed

Does it need a monitor too? I made a list that has one.
