Really a noob when it comes to PCs but i was wondering if this would be semi decent for medium settings on most games and will run at 60 fps?

Feel free to suggest things and call me a retard haha

Note: already got 8gb of ram at home

No. PSU is trash. No RAM, which you're going to need. No SSD is pretty poor, should definitely get an SSD in there. You can get a 1TB HDD for less than £1 more than that 500GB HDD, so it'd be stupid to buy that 500GB drive. Also the GTX 1050Ti is a piss poor option in the UK IMO, since an RX 470 is barely more expensive and will be much better than the 1050Ti. Either get an RX 470, or go for a more budget option like an RX 460 or GTX 1050(non Ti).

Okay.. what psu would you recommend? Already have 8GB of ram at home so dont need to buy more. Shall i get a SSD as well as a HDD? I'll look into buying an rx 470.

The RAM isn't going to be compatible, I can almost guarantee it. You can't just throw any old RAM in.

Find out what RAM it is. If it's DDR3, it's incompatible. If it's DDR4, make sure it's 288 pin, not 260 pin SODIMM.

If you need new RAM;
