Hi Guys

I used to be up to speed on all this sort of stuff but now I'm busy with work and general life :D

Think he's priced this on the forest (At a guess) can he better this for £560 (Approx)

I'm planning on building it with him when it arrives!

Any steer would be amazing! Thanks All

Above the original budget, but could bring it down by getting a cheaper board, knocking the CPU down the the 3100, and taking the GPU down, but the GPU makes the system what it is. Pointless wasting £40 on a terrible cooler, either spend £20 on a baisc tower air cooler, or use what is in the box.


CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3300X 3.8 GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI B450M MORTAR MAX Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Storage: Kingston A400 960 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB OC Video Card
Case: KOLINK STRONGHOLD ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: be quiet! System Power 9 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Total: ~£620.00

Edit: Oh.. I put in a 960GB SSD, because well you'll always need more room than 120GB.

Thanks yes he added a standard HDD which I didn't add as I thought SSDs are so cheap nowadays

He'll need thermal paste, and some case fans too and a copy of windows

Thermal paste is already on the box cooler, you can get really decent cases for between £35-50 with 3-4 or more 120 normal or RGB fans, and Windows costs £10 these days.


This one for example, very nice M-ATX case, great airflow, decent fans ~£50-60
