budget pc advice

[jta2001]

Not really sure where this belongs but this sub forum seems to fit the best.

I need some advice on building a PC. Firstly, im on a strict budget of £600 (in UK) but will get another £200 every six months to upgrade/add things to the build. Secondly, please dont tell me to wait 6 months to get some more money because i really need this PC by febuary.

Here's some infomation on what i need- ive recently started youtube and twitch but really struggle playing games while recording/streaming and struggle with rendering/editing. i play a variety of cpu and gpu intensive games, here are my most popular games- 

Battlefield one, GTA V, cities skylines, Hearts of iron IV, Civilization VI and some free to play games such as smite, LOL and heroes and generals.

so yeh, i need alot for a small amount of money, but if you guys could help out by suggesting things, id really apreciate it.

Thanks

Do you need a monitor? This is what I would get. For upgrade: Add an SSD in the future, a second RAM stick for 16GB in total

I would also suggest getting a Free Sync monitor to pair with AMD card as they are not that much expensive

-streaming and recording need good CPU and ram

-playing new and demanding games on the other hand needs good GPU so you need bought to be strong and from there it gets expensive.

You can save from not buying an ssd at first and going for the most barebones motherboards but you still need the CPU and GPU to be able to do ur job/hobby or whatever  so you need to save more or get 1 good part now and save for the other one and get it later

or get second hand parts....
