New gaming computer

I'm going to be bringing over parts for a mate as he cannot get them locally. He sent me this initial list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BgxjsJ

but when I go into it some of the items seem to be only available in America or very old.

Would anyone have recommendations of similar priced parts available for delivery to Ireland?

Your mate sent you a PCPartpicker list from USA, if you simply add "DE" to the beginning URL you would get prices from Germany; or append "UK" to get UK prices
e.g.
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/BgxjsJ
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/BgxjsJ

Be aware that our prices appear higher, since VAT is higher/immediately applied.

AmazonUK, Mindfactory.DE and Scan.co.uk are all reliable.

Changes
Upgrade the RAM to DDR4-2400 speed, and change the GPU to RX580 (faster & cheaper)

I'd recommend changing from Intel i5-7500 to AMD Ryzen 5-1600 or 1500x however.

Better minimums frame-rates.

if going ryzen might be a good idea to get fast ram too though, seemed to really improve gaming performance last i checked

Thank you for that. I haven't built my own computer in a good few years so I'm out of the loop.

I'll see what my friend says about the AMD Ryzen 5-1600

It would make much better sense to get the Ryzen 5 over the i5.
