Evening Folks - I would love a bit of advice on a new build.
I am looking at a HTPC / Lounge gaming PC. Strong WiFi is a must as it will also be acting as an Router for the rest of the devices locally.
I currently have:
1Tb SSD
EVGA 6gb 1060
16Gb TridentZ 2800mhz
I am looking at:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £536.22
(includes shipping: £12.30)
The idea is that the Taichi has a strong on board WiFi so that negates me needing to buy a separate adapter. Also while I a 1600 is perfect for me right now I want to be able go with a two stage upgrade - first to a decent Cooler to overclock the 1600 and then going to an 8 core Ryzen+ in the future.
I have Windows, but do need a decent wireless keyboard and mouse - although I also have an Xbox One so have Xbox controllers as well for casual gaming.
