    CPU @ AmazonUK

    If you can stretch slightly over-budget, there's also the RX 5500 XT to consider.

    Thanks for the reply @K.O.Kiki :), I could go as far €650/€700 in total for the whole build. I have no idea of what goes with what lol.

    Hmm. If upping the budget, I'd only change the motherboard to a better model (better future upgrades) and upgrade to the GTX 1660 (sadly I can't find the better SUPER for same price with a decent cooler anymore)

    Alternatively, stick to the cheaper motherboard & you can bung a 1660 Super in:
