1250 budget including OS

[Tkmoore]

So ive been browsing OC for a week or so. How does the beneath look? Is it compatible with one another? I plan to purchase within 24 hours and would prefer to shop from OC alone.

Please let me know if this is reasonable. Graphics seem decent but i would prefer speed over graphical intensity.

Thanks,

TKM

Firstly can you wait a couple of weeks for release of AM5? It may not be the best for your budget but there has been significant price cuts on Ryzen 3 chips in other markets so it may happen in the UK as well.

Alternatives.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Alpenfohn Brocken ECO Advanced CPU Cooler - 120 mm (SKU: HS-05J-AL) = £29.99
• 1 x Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-Bit DVD - OEM (KW9-00632) (SKU: SW-18J-MS) = £119.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Eight Core 4.6GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3D1-AM) = £278.98
• 1 x MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-359-MS) = £149.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB (2x16GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit (SKU: MY-4CL-CS) = £109.99
• 1 x PowerColor Radeon RX 6700 Fighter 10GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-1AL-PC) = £299.99
• 1 x WD Blue SN570 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T3B0C) (SKU: HD-589-WD) = £74.99

I have a set of the ram you chose upstairs and it did not play well with Ryzen so alternative above. Get a decent branded psu , the 650w above is enough but you can get Bequiet 700w for £85, its worth spending the extra tenner imho. GPU is excellent value , good performancerice ratio. Case is personal choice but I think that Kolink one you chose is glass fronted so airflow to front fans is very very restricted, not a massive problem for the relatively low power components you have chosen but it is poorly designed. Like I said above I am expecting price cuts on Ryzen 3 chips ( cannot be certain of them ) but the 5700x is almost identical to the 5800x so you may as well save £20.

Thanks for the heads up on the psu! Your basket looks great so I’ll go with that

I’m starting an intense masters degree so I’d rather buy and build it sooner rather than later even if I lose out on value of the processer, cheers.
