Yeah give a bit more info from the template if you want any comments.

It's a capable machine on the face of it, AiO is probably overkill. CPU could be changed depending on usage and budget.

thanks. I managed to find quite cheap aio, thats why I chose it.
 
I would be tempted to get a Ryzen 7600 £165 with a £80 b650 motherboard , memory is the big cost factor as DDR5 is expensive.


How much is your ddr4 costing ?

Can you put the approx prices (and budget) in? Hard to comment meaningfully otherwise.

how about this? around 1100 is the budget. I also downgraded to 9070.

I found an offer regarding the ddr5 so I switched to it, I also downgraded to 9070.

Nice.

You can get the 9600x for £7 more than the 7600x I would do that.
 
Any particular reason you've gone for that motherboard? Nothing inherently wrong with it but its a rather weak VRM so if you want more cores in the future you might want to reconsider, also worth remembering the not-quite-proved-but-still-worrying deal with ASRock motherboards and X3D chips (again if you ever upgrade to one)

I would change this to something better. If it was just a games drive then the QLC nand may be ok, but if it's your only drive then get one with TLC nand.

Crucial T500 or Lexar NM790 for example. (T500 has DRAM cache, the Lexar does not)

Also as mentioned earlier, a 1TB drive will fill up pretty quick unless you only have a few games installed at a time.
 
If you are getting the Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 V3 from where I think you are getting it from the new V6 version is only £7 extra and has a redesigned pump and better fans.
