Think about getting him the new pentium that is hyperthreaded. You can save some money on the cpu and put it towards something else.

I would get a pentium and switch out that rx 460 for a 1050 ti

The only reason I'm here is that I have homework that I don't want to do

It took me half an hour to find where to change my signature :(

@deXxterlab97 he mentioned he doesn't need storage ;)

 

@Mr alex

For a cheap budget build I would go with a 1050ti and a G4650, later on the CPU can be upgraded to a more powerful Kaby Lake i5 or even i7. Note that I haven't checked if these are in stock or if they can be shipped to Ireland!

This can go over the budget if you add shipping to Ireland.

Here is a significantly better gaming system for 9 pounds over, all from Amazon UK. If those 9 pounds matter you could drop the board to a B150 and the cpu to a 6100, but I'd go with Kaby Lake for the DDR4-2400 support.

The 7100 isn't worth double the price compared to the G4650 (half the price but less than 5% only a small difference in performance, around 10-12% depending on the bench)

It's more than 5% but not a huge difference. The G4560 would definitely be a great choice to come in under budget.
