    The word "kids" was used. Really, there will be games involved it is really just a question of which ones.

    Even then, I think *my* kids would get far more out of a big SSD to feed their youthful impatience than a lot of VRAM to avoid stuttered frames once the game has loaded. Shame they get spinning disks and 2GB video cards

    The bundle would do, but you save a bit buying separately even with some slight upgrades.

    Mobo (b150m, better than h110) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017UL7MHU/
    CPU - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-BX806.../dp/B015VPX2EO
    RAM (2666 rather than 2133. Will run at 2133 but might be re-usable in future?) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0123ZB990
    and this RX480 4gb is cheaper - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Po.../dp/B01IQS6QE6

    I would probably go with these parts.

    But,still what games??

    I have a GTX960 which is nowhere near powerful as a RX480 and it still runs a fair number games OK. Something like a GTX1050TI might be enough.

    For instance this RX470 is £180:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-RX-470P...keywords=RX470

    There are rumours AMD might drop the RX470 price a bit more due to the GTX1050TI.

    This company has it for just under £100:

    TP is OKish(would check beforehand TBH):

    https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.awd-it.co.uk

    Novatech is the next cheapest but is a better known retailer:

    If you insist on Amazon with Prime and in stock then i3-6300 is your best bet - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-BX806...dp/B015VPX3G6/

    It has a 3 year warranty, even though it's B-grade. Most likely it's used by working perfectly (most like a return).
