I'm not sure how much it costs to have it built, do you also need Peripherals and monitor for this PC?

We do not need screen or keyboard

Somebody might come in with better options but if you want something ready to go this could work. Seems pretty good value to me. I'd bump the ram up to 16gb in the options for £21, and dump the paid for security thing to knock £5.99 off the price...

This is pretty good although the only downside is no zen 3 support on a b450 although you could still stick an 8 or 12 core ryzen 3000 chip in if needed in the future.

If July, the. In June 3100 + b550 entry board + and GPU + Freesync screen that can also be used with current/next gen consoles.

Least then , 2 years time can wake in a 8 core ryzen 4*** second hand which would have same performance as current 12 core ryzen etc
