600 British pounds is ~771 USD If only new parts were picked, following the https://www.logicalincrements.com/ guide good tier

GPU: RX 6600 $200

CPU: i5 12400F $148

HSF: Peerless $35

Mobo: ASRock B660 Steel $120

RAM: 8GB DDR4 $24

Hard Drive: 2TB $52

M.2 SSD: 512GB $42

PSU: SeaSonic 500W (B) $60

Case: Pure Base 500 $80

Personally, I would change this to get rid of the Hard drive to free up ~$50, putting the money into a higher capacity M.2 if needed

I think you would probably be looking at 1080P gaming, and I don't think this built will be super upgradeable (DDR4 RAM, Intel CPU) but I think you would be able to play games at a reasonable framerate
