Super budget £600 build?

Excellent, thanks. I think this is going to be the move
MM or b-grade, you could probably make an offer of £280 on this 9060XT 16GB: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/b-gr...r6-pci-express-graphics-bg-gra-pwc-05257.html

I’ve found some spare ddr4 ram I could donate. I have 2x8gb sticks so 16gb ddr4 ram.
It’s open but never been used.

@Drake5 or you could just buy the bundle (sans ram) on MM here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...00x-3070-motherboard-psu-arctic-aio.19005910/
Possibly, but if I think I can go down the route of a 7600/ddr5 it'll be better in the long term?

what rob said
I'd look at ways to expand the budget to fit in AM5 as mentioned above, AM4 is dead outside of one or two caveats that aren't relevant to western markets and AM5 will be replaced with AM6 within 1-2 years, although we can expect support and CPU releases for the AM5 platform beyond that.
Spending another £100 now will potentially save a lot more in the long run going forward if PC gaming becomes a thing for your nephew, it's a mild gamble when the odds are stacked vs full platform update costs in a year or two vs slapping in a 10600X3D or whatever and a newer GPU. AM5 right now is in a good spot for entry level AM5 with a view to upgrade the CPU and then skip AM6 entirely in favour of AM7 or whatever Intel equivalent.

My son's build was about £450 give or take
China 5700x3d - £120
3060ti - £160
32gb b-die - £60
B450m - £40
Psu - cv650 £20
Case with fans - £30
Cooler was my old one
Granted you can't get the 5700x3d that cheap nowadays but I've just picked up a 5800x for £50 for no real reason apart from because it was cheap so decent parts are about for good prices..
AM5 would be better, but AM4 will still be decent for what you need for a few years to probably skip AM5
And that has been a gradual upgrade from the original system which was
A320m - £20
2600x - £30
Gtx 1080 - £75
16gb ddr 3200 - £20...

Bought loads of parts (PC and my Model 3) on Aliexpress, can't fault the prices nor quality
TBH, most parts are made in China anyway lol
Definitely. But you can't seem to find the x3ds on there now. Was a bloody bargain when I got it and will last him for quite some time

yeah the AM4 X3Ds are EOL and the 5700X3Ds have not been that price since January IIRC
nowadays the smart buy is the 7800X3Ds (~£200)

That's a good build for the price. How did you pick a 5800x up for so cheap?
#winning
Not really as now I'm trying to buy other bits for a build I don't need to
Okay, a slightly different idea. What if all parts are purchased new but the GPU is sourced used/MM
I've seen these builds from the other thread on here

I'm guessing the 9600x is the faster processor - Sorry for making a mess with the formatting
