This is as close as I can get you while still being a reasonable system. Note that it doesn't include Wifi, ethernet only. Wifi would be £18 more.

The OS alone costs £100 so it's difficult trying to get anything any better.

The 2600X is AMD 2000, which is previous generation. It's compatible to the 3600 rather than the 3300X.

The 3300x is faster than the 2600X for gaming though, it has a higher peak boost clock.

I wouldn't take AMD over Nvidia where possible. The 580 isn't comparable with the 1650 though, it's more like the 1650 Super. The 580 is significantly more expensive than both though, which is where the budget is limited.

Thanks for your help, ive taken your build and added the wifi and an optical drive, which meant i added a case to support it, then added the 1650 super and lower the power supply which was recommended

You don’t want to lower the PSU, it’s not giving a warning when you proceed it’s just giving a notification that your build uses less power, the increased PSU is to allow for future upgrades. 450 will limit you hugely in the future.

If you need the optical drive you want to select the Focus-G case. The CIT is not fit for a good gaming build IMO.

You have also lowered the RAM etc. Just making you aware, it's detrimental to the performance of the AMD chip.
