Hi all,

I built a new rig back in 2012 after advice from some of you guys here, thanks for that. I'm here many years later and want to build another one!

I'm nowhere near as up to date with all the components as I was back then and I was hoping for some advice from you guys. I've identified a few core components that I'd like in my build:

Crucial P2 1TB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 NVMe Solid State Drive

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core 4.6GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail

Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey

AMD Radeon Pro WX4100 Professional Graphics Card - 4GB GDDR5 - 1024 Stream Processors

and was hoping you would give me on advice on:

Suitable PSU
Suitable motherboard
Is my old Antec 300 case suitable?

I've still got the old one with the case and was wondering if there's any reason I can't use this case for the new one. Everything still works fine.

Many thanks in advance.
 
Hello mate,

Thanks for the recommendations, I've added the PSU and motherboard to my list.

Will I need another heatsink for the Ryzen?

Re the GPU I was unsure. I've currently got a 1050ti in my low budget PC and I get less than 70fps in Rocket League. Looking for something that will keep me above 100fps solidly.

Think maybe I should purchase the rest of the rig and wait for a good GPU to be available and on offer?

Cheers.
 
Oh boy, that is sure to be a close fit! I may be ready to roll the dice though.

I was looking at 1650s for a GPU but couldn't see any in stock on OC so just put that one down. I think a 1650 should be enough for the rig, what do you think?
 
This is the build:
Gaming PC HP 8300 Elite Quad Core i5-3470, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, WiFi, Windows 10 64Bit Desktop PC Computer With Antivirus (Renewed)

But this new rig won't involve that at all. Going to get all new components to go in Antec 300 if I can.

I'll mainly be wanting it for Rocket League (and other PC games I might want to get), having lots of tabs of chrome open simultaneously and playing movies/TV shows with lightning fast load speeds from the SSD. Currently at £650 at the moment and still need to add in the GPU. I don't wanna go any higher than £800 really.
 
Thanks for the recommendations Joxeon. That GPU is over 50% of the price by itself and the CPU has been downgraded massively. Is this the optimal build for the budget, will the CPU not become a bottleneck and the 16gb RAM instead of 32gb cause RAM deficiencies?
