Here's what the specs could be if all goes well..
Graphics Card- Asus AMD Radeon DUAL-RX480
500GB HDD
Motherboard- GIGABYTE GA-F2A58M-HD2
PSU- ATRIX 600W
RAM 8GB
CPU- Intel core i3 7350k 4.2Ghz
Would all these components work together? I'm not sure if it will work with my motherboard :/
+Rep for any help, this will be my first build, I also have a very limited budget being £360-£380

No. Like i said on your last thread, for any decent CPU upgrade you will need a new motherboard and RAM;

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] / [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£47.19 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£168.84 @ Amazon UK)

Monitor: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£99.42 @ Aria PC)
Total: £366.68
Decent monitor so you can make good use of the GPU. Your CPU isn't good, but it'll do the job so I wouldn't bother looking for a CPU upgrade quite yet. A CPU upgrade will cost at least £150 for a new motherboard, RAM, and the CPU. Your PSU will pretty much need replaced.

Depends on how much you have when you upgrade. If you want a GPU and CPU upgrade, you can do so for a little over your budget but you'd have to sacrifice the SSD and monitor. So you'd be stuck using an old shitty monitor anyway and you're upgrades would be pretty pointless. I'm not sure why you're so determined to upgrade your CPU.
