Spec check! I’m new to this

Is there anything that I should change? I just kept changing bits until I maxed my budget.

Thanks in advance!

What is your budget and what does the spec cost?

What are you using the system for?

What monitor is this going with?

You can post full specs more easily by scrolling down past the spec summary and using the Post to Forum button. :)
 
Didn’t even think of these things haha! Budget is around £1200. (This is a little over at the moment at £1223)

Mainly gaming! All kinds of games, nothing specific.

When it comes to monitors I haven’t quite decided. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try and remember for next time!

What's the budget for the monitor? Will help suggest a PC and monitor that pair well together :)

That's helpful, thanks :)

For gaming you could just stick to the R5 2600x which is quite a lot cheaper. If you intend to stream your gameplay then the R7 is a better choice though the R5 is capable.

I'd go with the Intel 760p as it's faster but cheaper than the other NVMe SSDs, though the WD Black or 970 Evo are good options if you want to spend a bit more.

Get the faster RAM as it can help in some games and AMD CPUs are said to benefit a lot from it too.

The RX 580 GPU is neck and neck with the GTX 1060, but supports Freesync, which can help get rid of tearing and stuttering.

Your £200 or so budget for a monitor would let you get a freesync high refresh monitor.

You could get a TXm series PSU as these are more efficient, better quality and modular.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. That all sounds good to me! I’ll have a closer look when I get a chance and hopefully be able to order soon! Do you think it’d be worth waiting for Black Friday / cyber Monday. I really appreciate all the help :)

In the past I think PCS has done some discount vouchers (£15 of £20) or put a discount on some builds. If you do wait that long, check the specs again closer to the time - prices change and new options become available.
