Is this an okay setup? I have never had a PC so I no clue, googled some stuff and this is what I decided on. I would play games like arma, CSGO, battlefield, maybe some other fps games and games like fallout. I would like to have around -30-50 fps on most games at around mid-high settings, my budget for the whole build is £550, this includes everything. I will be upgrading or possibly rebuilding in the future when I learn more about this stuff. I don't stream or making videos so I won't need anything extra for that. If it isn't good and I could get way better could you post a PC part picker link and tell me what choosing that build will give me (fps, settings ect) any help will be super helpful, thanks.

P.S The link is in dollars but in pounds this is £350. I'd like to keep the price to a minimum but if you can see something that will impact it massively for a small price feel free to change it.

Do you need a monitor, KB, mouse?
Will you overclock?
£550 is your full budget?

Over budget by ~£50
Get an SSD when you can
Get the OS from G2A or the free way.. *Arghhh*
Included a monitor and keyboard w/ mouse, if you don't need those remove them and get this

If you were planning on overclocking, you can't on those builds if you want to overclock here
Over budget a tad but better GPU

Not to be rude, but can you wait until OP actually answers the questions? We dont know if he'll overclock or not. Or needs a monitor, KB, or mouse.
The builds are meh, but i'll wait until I get enough info.

£550 is my max price. I'd like to go under so I have money for games and it won't take as long to save up for. I need headset, monitor, mouse and everything I'd need starting from nothing. I have no clue what over clocking does so it'd be best not to mess with that I think.

I'd get this. Just pick up headphones from Amazon in your budget range.
Mobo will need a BIOS update, but you can ask Amazon to do that. Also left some money for some games and/or pizza.

Yes, a 5 year old can do it. If you're scared, look up a video on youtube so you can see what to expect. Its super easy though! You'll be fine.
Its just an update to the motherboard. Kinda like a system update for XBox or PS4.

Is there anything that could be toned down a little on the price, it sounds petty but even £50 could mean a month or two. If not it's okay and I really appreciate your help.
