you can get an i5 or a ryzen 5
same with your gpu , you can get an amd or a 1060 or so

Cheapest quad-core Intel CPU with DDR4 support would be i3-8100 at £112.50,
pcpp: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/YqKhP6/intel-core-i3-8100-36ghz-4-core-processor-bx80684i38100

With that CPU, you'll need LGA1151 socket 300 series MoBo, e.g H310, B360, H370, Z370 or Z390 chipset.

On AMD side, cheapest quad-core CPU with DDR4 support would be A8-9600 at £46.97,
pcpp: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/4ZkwrH/amd-a8-9600-31ghz-quad-core-processor-ad9600agabbox

With that CPU, you'll need AM4 socket MoBo, e.g A320, B350, X370, B450 or X470 chipset.

For gaming, i3-8100 paired with GTX 1050 Ti would give you balanced build that can do high/ultra settings @ 720p with 60 FPS or medium settings @ 1080p with 60 FPS.
