What type of RAM? DDR3 or DDR4?
How much are you paying for this? Hopefully not too much for a quad core CPU.

I'm assuming you're going to be playing in 1080p?

I would recommend a 1660ti if you're looking to push 60+ FPS on competitive games.

What kinds of games are you playing/ what are you expecting for performance

Instead of buying prebuilt I encourage you to build it yourself, you will get more value for your money and it's surprisingly easy. Also some prebuilts come with subpar psu's and limited motherboards with less upgrade potential.

Things like dayz, arma 3, R6S, L4D 1-2, cold war, CSGO

How much more would the 1660ti add on to price as my budget is £650.

Are you in a huge rush to get it going? You could purchase your mobo, CPU, ram, PSU, case and storage online and look for a used GPU on a local buy and sell. GPUs are in short supply atm so it's a pain in the butt to order them in Canada. Not sure about in your region

Do you need a build list? Or are you looking to go prebuilt for sure?

Just watch tutorials on YouTube and get tips from the internet. Building a PC is super easy, I'm in no way good with computers or parts and was able to do it myself. It's a good way to save money and helps you understand your build when you want to upgrade in the future.
