Hi all again

I have bought several PC's so far from PCS all with a fairly good budget but this one is for a friends son and we don't have as much movement unfortunately, the budget is £1000, how could we shrink the below to meet that requirement? the brief is he wants to play Fortnite, GTA and FIFA, is this even possible at this spec? would it be cheaper a pre-built system possibly?

As always, thank you for your time and help.

The budget is really tight and GPU prices are through the roof right now. Below is the best I can manage. Unfortunately the money isn't there for a 1660 with a solid base. Fortunately though, those titles don't really rely on high GPU usage so the Ti will have you covered for 1080p gaming.
