Believe me, it's VERY good for that price. (edited)
If you didnt have a system, then 100% go 7000.
You'll prob want a close to £200 MB and then DDR5. If you cheap on MB then you wont have good upgrade options for next gen or 2 anyways, so pointless IMO.
I've got a i5-6500, gtx 1060. Is it worth (cost wise) just upgrading my CPU to a better LGA1151 chip and then maybe the GPU to match, or is it worth just rolling a whole new Ryzen build (for basically 1080p gaming)
The best CPU upgrade you can get is a cheap 6 core Xeon from AliExpress. It will need a BIOS update. But overall a full platform update will be a lot faster and can be done quite cheaply.
I've seen i could get an i7-7700k but cost wise probably not worth and not sure if i'd need more ram anyway. so another build may just be the better option.
