Agreed, intel CPU is the better option right now. Pentium G4560 (approx. £55) is dual core with hyperthreading (i.e. 4 virtual cores optimal for gaming) is a great entry level gaming CPU. Only 10% slower than i3 but half the price! Go for i3 or i5 if you have the extra £££. The G4560 is the lowest CPU I would recommend for gaming.

Also, that GPU is underpowered. Consider the 1050ti (gigabyte version approx. £137), it is a little more expensive than the 460 you chose, but is significantly faster (4gb as opposed to 2gb). Have a 1050ti in my sons PC and it runs most games perfectly well medium to high settings at 1080p. Neither of these cards is suitable for 1440p or higher.

What storage option are you going with (mechanical/ssd/m.2)...

AMD FX in 2017 is a bad idea. Take a recent Intel processor or wait for Ryzen.

Edit: It would be easier to make recommendations is we knew your budget!
