This is my £700 build for my brother to play average games at 144hz

I have found all the parts on amazon for less than £700. I particularly think the ram is a steal for £89 two 8gb sticks. I ended up choosing the i3-8100 rather than the i5-8500 as i didn't feel the extra £100 would effect he performance increase enough from looking on user benchmarks. Any opinions would be much appreciated.

Personally I'd be inclined to spend the extra £10-30 or so for the 6gb version of the 1060 or the RX580 8gb, but the rest looks decent.

Small edits made. The i3 is kinda weak and poor value. Also, your linked memory kit wasn't available anymore already.

thanks for the help everyone. I was only going Intel for the i5 8500 and then I realised it was gonna be too expensive so I just swapped in the i3. I think I will try the Ryzen processor. I haven't built with AMD before is there any difference when booting the pc and downloading drivers?

Nope no real difference, the only difference is the size of the socket for the CPU and the number of pins on it, pretty much everything else about an AMD system is identical to an Intel system.
