Need a £400 gaming PC

[chrissywilk96]

My friend asked me to help him buy a computer and i told him that i would build it for him as it works out cheaper but i don't know much about AMD and i have only built once before (my own..) I would like you to help me choose the right components please.

Was looking for 16gb RAM 1tb HDD a good CPU and then a good motherboard
if you could help that would be great thanks
