I have an old system built around '05 which may need retiring.It's had a few upgrades along the way but I feel I need something somewhat newer and hopefully stable. Budget: I have about £600 - £ 700 max to play with. Main uses of intended build: It is mainly for gaming and browsing.My pc sits in the kitchen /diner and I use a Samung 28" TV @ 1080p.It's wired in for the internet, which where i live isn't the greatest.I get around 17Mbps on average. I'm happy enough @1080p .Game wise, the likes of PUBG,Total War,Battlefield, The Witcher series and Elder Scrolls Online.Also a little bit of 3D modelling. So these are the bits I'm looking at: Parts required: PCU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Mobo Asus Prime-X470-PRO Memory Kingston HyperX Predator 16GB (2x8) DDR4 3200 Storage Samsung 860 Evo 1TB M.2-2280 SD (for OS) Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200rpm HD ( for games) Case Enthoo Pro M Previous build information (list details of parts): I have a EVGA Super NOVA 650 G2 PSU which is just over a year old to use and an MSI Radeon (TM) RX 470 Graphics 8GB GPU. Also have corsair mouse & KB which will be used. Extra information about desired system: I'm aware that the Bios may need flashed for the 3600.As i'm not going to overclock i'll use stock cooler unless it's really noisy.Is there any thing i've missed or do you think there's something better out here that i need to change? many thanks wecrookie
The proposed parts look all fine in general. Just two quick things to note: If you buy the CPU and mobo from CCL they'll update the bios for you. The AMD stock cooler is perfectly fine for stock clocks (however you will want to fiddle around with the fan curve in the bios).
Messing around in the Bios, should be fun I was aware of the offer on CCL, having read Jeff Hines posts on his build. thx.
