Before I pull the trigger

[Kolor]

Doe this look ok, been a good few years since I build my last PCs.

Trying to keep around the £800 mark. Pretty sure I have a relatively unused XFX PSU sitting upstairs in an old build so the the one here is a just in case .
Want to play some of the recent games in 1080p high but my daily driver is Linux so this will need to play nice with that as well as Windows gaming.

Cheers in advance

If you end up buying a PSU, please buy a better brand. More money but they are worth it.

You get a much better quality PSU which is more efficient and come with a 7 or 10 year warranty compared to 3 years on the Kolink.

Otherwise looks like a solid build. Maybe swap out the RAM for 3600mhz but certainly wont make a huge impact if you can't.

I'll probably remove that entirely as I have an XFX 750 sitting upstairs in an older box that doesn't have too many miles on the clock.

Same board, smaller factor , cheaper

Smaller case, better airflow
