Hey computer fans, I have a build for you to verify!
I am in the U.K (£, GBP)
£1 = $1.3 US
I am currently getting my build for my life here at my mums sorted out and I am working on a tight budget (£500 max, as cheap as possible). I have worked out a great (I think) build, however, as it is my first time and I'm not exactly the worlds best expert, I may have tripped up. I would like to know if:
A) all parts are compatible (I think they are)
B) all parts are optimal / best for the job
C) if I have found the best prices for all parts
D) are all cables there (such as PSU or FanHub)
E) are there any better solutions at the same price
F) would thermals be an issue (CPU StuckCooler in use)
I have looked around for a while for best prices, but there still may be some better ones out there. Also, in terms of graphics card, I know the RX460 (AMD) is more budget friendly but I have watched some videos and the 1050 is worth the little extra in my opinion. I'm only looking to play things like CS:GO, Rocket League and maybe a bit of Planet Coaster so no spectacular requirements are an issue. I have all peripherals so I do not need any more. My monitor is 1080p.
So, for the bit you've all been waiting for: the build:
