I already have £700 but I'd like to get a monitor, some games and accessories to actually enjoy my computer with. I've theorized this build, it only has an i3 as I will be recording older games only really and in new games with a mid range GPU it performs like an i5 would.

Change stuff around and don't go much over £520 please! Thank you for reading this!
