Faster RAM.
Bigger PSU.
Ditch Bullguard.
Personally I would swap the CPU for the 11400f, but that's just me.

To give a 12th gen Intel alternative, this is the route I'd personally recommend. It comes in just under your max of £50 a month £49.80 p/m

Case
LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE High airflow case, good for keeping components cool
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i5 Six Core Processor i5-12400F (2.5GHz) 18MB Cache Solid budget CPU from Intel's current lineup

Graphics Card
8GB AMD RADEON™ RX 6600 - HDMI, DP - DX® 12 Ideally you'd want a 3060 here, but it's currently a terrible price and out of stock. The 2060's are another option, but are again, not very competitively priced

512GB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3000MB/sR | 1600MB/sW) Plenty fast Boot SSD for Windows and applications
