Hello!
It's been a good 4 years since I upgraded my pc so it's time to gut my current system and upgrade a bit. I'm not an expert on components and compatibility, so I'd appreciate it if someone could check if what I'm looking at getting is fully compatible and whether there's any alternatives that may be better.
I mainly use my pc for gaming and office work and ideally my budget is no more than £550.

Like I said, any help/advice is greatly appreciated
