This is my build with a budget of about £1150. Only thing missing is the PSU as the one I was going to go for is out of stock. Any suggestions on the PSU? Anything you would change with this build?



My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,079.09 (includes shipping: £13.20)

Better/Longer warranty with the Gigabyte card. You need to register it online to get the 4 years warranty.

A 550W psu is enough.

The R5 3600 already comes with a stock cooler. No point paying an extra £20 for a slightly better one.

The Gigabyte SSD has an extra 12GB for the same price.

Try and spring for the 8 core Ryzen. Consoles are reportedly going to go 8 core next year so you should go 8 core too. And Isn't the best RAM for Ryzen DDR4-3600? That's an extra £30.

Thanks mate, that looks brilliant. I'll likely be going into store on Monday to collect these parts, however only having 1 motherboard in stock makes me a bit nervous. Would you suggest any alternatives for around the same price if that one does go out of stock

Thanks for the suggestion but the 8 core would just take it too out of budget. Faster RAM might be a good idea though

I would be looking at MSI as they have the better B450 boards. Only trouble is most are out of stock, and the last Tomahawk Max also seems to have gone for now :( The X470 Gaming Plus is ok for slightly more (£114.95), but it doesn't have bios flashback.

The B450 Tomahawk Max is in stock elsewhere, so you might be better just ordering online from a different retailer and then getting the rest from ocuk.
