The spec overall looks great.

There are a few concerns that come to mind though.

The case is a major issue. It's a bit rubbish anyway (no USB 3.0 at the front - in 2019?!). But it's also very basic and will have limited airflow and cooling/upgrade options - which isn't good for the fairly powerful hardware you're putting in it.

I'd suggest the Fractal Focus G instead - or if every penny must be pinched, the PCS Cyclone.

The SSD is very small, relatively slow, and a bit of a waste of an M.2 slot. A 250gb WD Black would be ideal, but even a 250gb 860 Evo SSD (from the Hard Drive menu, not the M.2 menu) would be better than the 128gb SU800.

Warranty3 Year Platinum Warranty (3 Year Collect & Return, 3 Year Parts, 3 Year labour)
This is very expensive, especially for a fairly mid-range system. Most of the components don't even cost £130 on their own so if they broke they'd be cheaper to buy new. Also many components come with their own manufacturer warranty beyond the regular PC Specialist warranty. It's up to you what the extra peace of mind is worth, but I'd really suggest sticking to the £5 warranty and spending the savings on hardware like the case and the SSD.

This is fairly expensive. Are you sure you need it?

The R5 2600 doesn't qualify for that offer. The R5 2600x does, and is a faster CPU.


What did the above system come to, and what is your budget? It will help suggest revisions.
