changed pc so going with this

I went for this build, and changed three things, but i am not sure, after sitting last night i changed the following, as u can see but i wonder if the processor will make such a huge change maybe rather keep normal Ryzen 5 3600 but on first storage change it from 512GB PCS 2.5" SSD, SATA 6 Gb (520MB/R, 450MB/W) to a 4TB SEAGATE BARACUDA HDD 6GB/s 5400rpm 256mb cache. for more space. it will mostly be used for games but i am not a hardcore gamer. really play secondlife, wow here and there and XCOM

I would strongly recommend cancelling that build, it's just not really suitable at all and built on an old office platform, would be awful for gaming and need replacing very quickly.

Can you post your max budget and the monitor you're pairing it with make and model?

We love you Ukraine
lenovo g24-10 and my budget is 1600 pounds
I would definitely cancel the build above, it's not suitable at all. You can't amend it because it's on the wrong platform so the only option is to cancel entirely.

To be frank, your monitor is going to hold back any modern build at that budget. You really should be looking at 1440p 144Hz as a minimum which would give a hugely improved overall experience.
 
damn the monitor i bought separate, dont know if i can send it back, i dont play heavy games if that helps. what would u suggest?
 
build date is 24th so if i want to change it i beter do it fast it is bed time as i get up super early but any suggestions i am open to, i will check in morning ty so much
 
I just don't understand how you ended up with that build? You started off with a 3600XT and ended up with a 2700x? The build I listed was perfect for your needs so I don't understand why you downgraded everything and added in expensive unecessary SSDs? As well as a cooler that isn't needed and the Wi-Fi card which still isn't worth the extra money?

Sorry if I come across as harsh but I do not understand your thinking here.....I specced you the perfect gaming build for your budget and you have gone and ordered a system based on a non-gaming chip?
a friend told me he had gamming component that i can rather by from him and it would be cheaper when he brought it it was a 2011 motherboard and a case nothing else by then, i had cancelled my order and another friend choose all that i have on there now he has same said up and says it is brilliant. but if that one of yours is better i will try revert back to it

I have to agree with NURSEMORPH on his spec as opposed to yours , the only change i would make myself would be to have a 256GB M.2 Drive instead of the 512GB and use the extra cash and upgrade your HDD to a 2TB one and only have windows installed on the M.2 drive however that's splitting hairs lol , but overall he has specced you a gaming rig bang on for your bucks , however its your money and you spend it the way you wish , but to be fair these guys will give you their most honest opinion and advice you will get from anyone .. just my opinion that's all
 
okay i havecontacted them and made the change hope i dont have to wait 28 days again lols and opinion is good thats why i asked i dont know much about pc's

I would personally save yourself some money from buying that WI-FI/Networking card that you chose to this 1 : WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2,400Mbps/5GHz, 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD + BT 5.0 and save yourself a lot of dosh ... don't know if you would really be able to notice any real difference for the extra money spent for that card , not for me to say though .. but overall a very nice Gaming Rig in my opinion.
 
we have virgin media and 4 people using wifi, my pc will be upstairs and router is down stairs so i wanted what i thought is strongest card . Point taken i changed the card to WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2,400Mbps/5GHz, 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD + BT 5.0 . ty for the advice it is really appreciated

But rest looks okay?
