New build components

[violent_keith]

Hi, so I know that this is a bit of a big ask really but I intend building a pc for my son for Christmas, I have built one before but followed a video, components and build guide, which is now too outdated to use.

My problem is I have a budget of around £600, I think I can take a 500 w power unit out my old pc to use, but I really have no idea which components to buy without a guide for what will be best, I know graphics wise a 3-6 gb 1060 geforce card sounds about right but regards to motherboard, processor etc I have no idea what to buy and it would really just be guess work. I have a 1tb hard drive I can recycle too and maybe get a 128 gb ssd as c drive for Windows.

If anybody has any advice or recommendations I would be extremely grateful, like I said I know it's a bit of a timely request

major usage?
what psu model is it?

Yeh relatively major usage, as for power supply not sure as I can't see the exact model no. Its got 500 on the top, think it was evga and its 3 to 4 years old

Trying to find the video I used so I can see the part model

 

[violent_keith]

Says evga 500 watt 80 plus power supply on video

there is usually no good quality evga 500 psu as I know, link to the video?
What do you usually use the pc for? That is my question of major usage

Try to add an ssd into the budget if you can, if not add it later on.
