Hello as title says, I'm looking for the best value for money hardware for this price, any help is appreciated.

I've already got a 550 watt PSU and an SSD.

Do note that the BIOS might need to be updated on the motherboard to support the CPU.

Here is another option using and iGPU instead of dGPU.

what 550 watt PSU is it?

Because that is possibly your most important decision from the start of any PC build, I know what it's like to build on a tight budget but trust when I say this. Get a good branded model you can afford, not just brand name (the model will be important) even if it means saving just that little bit longer.
