[Edited to include OCUK basket. Had to include 3600 processor but will likely wait and get the 2600 instead to keep closer to budget.]
Hi, I've included my draft part list below for an ~£600 first time build gaming PC. I'd just like to be able to play current games at 1080p and decent settings, or at least the best I can for the budget. ~£600 is the budget not including OS / peripherals.
This is all new to me so any tips would be great, I've not built before but I've taken some advice from people I know who have.
Couple of specific questions:
1. I believe that the SSD I've picked should be straightforward enough to install on this motherboard, but the people I've spoken to haven't used NVME before - could there be any issues with this?
2. I'm not quite sure if I need the extra fans, my general impression is that more fans can't hurt but any tips on these would be great.
