What's your max budget? TBH, you could get a lot more with an AMD build, that one's compromised in a lot of key areas

Budget is approx £1300, key areas?

The CPU is very expensive without offering any performance benefit over a much cheaper AMD 3600 which would offer equivalent gaming performance but vastly improved performance elsewhere for much reduced cost. Likewise, because it's the Intel platform, the motherboards are rediculously expensive as they have to work so hard to keep the chips cool as they're just not very good chips. But you wouldn't want that motherboard with an i7 anyway.

Very slow RAM which will reduce performance and not enough for the requirements

The GPU is an old one which the Super has replaced for the same money

The primary drive is way too small and would cause issues with installing many games. It's also an old SATA drive so very slow by modern standards.

The cooler isn't adequate for the CPU.

So it looks like you have a worthwhile system for the budget, but in reality to make it feasible, you'd have to spend a significant amount more.

I would strongly recommend cancelling and i'll draw up a better balanced option.

That leaves plenty of cash for a really good gaming monitor, this one is widely regarded as the best for the budget at 1080p 144Hz:

www.box.co.uk

AOC Gaming 27G2U/BK 27" Full HD IPS FreeSync 144Hz | Box.co.uk

www.box.co.uk

That still leaves some headroom in the budget and the overall experince will be a different league.
