Try to bild the same build on PartPicker, and check how much will that be.
Usually, it`s a lot cheaper to buy the parts and build it yourself rather than buying it pre-built.

Would you be comfortable building your own PC?

There are many advantages in building your own...

Worked out to be £627... same specs.

Ok.. this build is better than the pre-built one:

And even this build, where i switched out a few parts to be in line with your budget, even cheaper (but still better than the pre-built one you linked)
