Install Ryzen 5 1600 paired with GTX 1060 graphics card
I understand the 1030 isn't ideal, but I'm sure an upgrade is possible. The 1600 might be limited soon, so I could switch to something like a 1660 later—once prices return to MSRP, and with a £560 budget, I think my current build offers good value.

Because the 1600 lacks built-in graphics, it’s likely you’re working with some form of separate graphics. The chances are high that what you have now isn’t significantly worse than a GT 1030. Try allocating a bit more and opt for a card with at least 4GB of VRAM from any model—even a GTX 970 would outperform a GT 1030. Stay patient and careful, and you might find a GTX 970 around $150.
It's suggested to use an SSD for your operating system and to upgrade the HDD to a 2TB drive rather than sticking with a single drive. This provides double the capacity at only a modest extra cost of 10-15 dollars.
