Purchase Timeframe:
This will be a christmas gift for myself so im looking to buy everything within the next few weeks.
Budget:
My and my parents are splitting the bill on this 50/50 and im putting forwards roughly 600 from my savings so the estimated budget is around £1.2k but theres probably a little wiggle room.
Usage:
I'll primarily use this for gaming but also possibly for college work as im attending a graphic design course aswell as a lot of ripping and writing Cds and Dvds. If its any help a some game series i play include: Persona, Sonic The Hedgehog, Yakuza/Like A Dragon, God Of War, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Danganronpa and others in these genres.
Preferences:
I dont want to go all out on RGB Lighting as this will be sitting under my desk so it will hardly be seen. This bits somewhat less important but the more storage the better im a bit of a data hoarder and i have a bunch of flac files ive ripped and downloaded and i dont have anything like a home media server or that much external storage to put it onto (hoping to get a 5th gen ipod and mod its storage one day). Also i woukd like a good handful of usb/c slots and an sd card slot but im assuming thats not very commonplace these days so its at the bottom of the priority list. I can just get a multi usb and sd adapter anyways.
Current Hardware:
All i have right now is a dell laptop i got for christmas of 2019. It has an AMD Ryzen 5 2500u with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx, 8gb of ram (6.9 usable), AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics (1010MB), and a 238 GB SSD. My friend got a pc back in may and he uses it for basically the same stuff id be using mine for and its served him well so far ill put his specs below for reference:
CORSAIR 3000D AIRFLOW MID TOWER GAMING CASE
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X Six Core CPU (4.7GHz-5.3GHz/38MB CACHE/AM5)
ASUS® PRIME B650-PLUS (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 5200MHZ CL40 (2 x 16GB)
16GB GIGABYTE RADEON RX 7600 XT GAMING OC - 2 x HDMI, 2 x DP
2TB SAMSUNG 990 EVO PLUS M.2, PCIe 4.0 & 5.0 NVMe (up to 7250MB/R, 6300MB/W)
Peripherals:
These will be factored into the overall budget. Im looking for a 1440p monitor with atleast 144 hertz and 27 inches. Id prefer a full sized/100% keyboard, no preferences on how they they sound or if theyre completely silent and no preference on if its wired or not. Im not well educated on headsets or if i should get a mic and headphones/iems seperatly so ill leave that up to the ppl seeing this. I would prefer wired for this but im willing to go wireless.
Special Needs/Requirements (inc Wi-Fi):
I will be needing wifi and blutooth for this build and id also like any other reccomendations you think this build needs.
Thanks in advance to anyone who replys
