I am looking for a good £400 system for my son and have been looking at prebuilds but most have no graphics card and run on old CPUs wlcan I get some recommendations on either prebuilds or what I should buy to build him one.
 
Solution
If you want prebuilt
Would you be opposed to used?
You can usually find an older i5/i7 system and throw in a 1050ti for cheap.

If you want new, you may be able to find an entry level 2200g system.

If you want to build.

for your consideration. should be a good start a more capable GPU can be added later. went with just the PC, tight budget for whole shebang
