My friend's son is just starting to get into gaming and has asked for a gaming pc for his birthday to play games such as Fortnite. Have mocked up a system with my limited knowledge but could do with some advice on how to improve price to performance and/or confirmation that something like this would work:

The gtx 660 has been included simply because I have one left over from a recent upgrade and assume that a 2600 + 660 would perform better and be better futureproofed than a 2400g system. The idea is that if he is still into gaming in a couple of years, a gpu upgrade would allow the system to perform well in newer games. Budget is at the most £400
Any help is appreciated
Cheers
