Is this a good PC for a £1000 budget?

[Ben May]

Hi, I am not really experienced with PC building so I was wondering if this is a good build or not for £1000. This PC will be used for gaming and my monitor is MSI Optix g24 Series (144hz, 1080p, 1ms, AMD freesync, Curved) Could you also tell me if this is a good build that allows for possible upgrades in the future. Thanks for your help in advance.

Based on OCUK prices, you're probably paying £100-£150 for whoever to build it (OCUK doesn't have that PSU and I don't know what case it has):

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Six Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail - £149.99
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C18 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMW16GX4M2D3600C18) - £79.99
Asus Prime B550-Plus (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard - £164.99
Sapphire Radeon RX 6600 Pulse Gaming 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card - £259.99
Phanteks AMP 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply - £109.99
WD Blue SN570 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T3B0C) - £62.99
Thermaltake H330 Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Chassis - £64.99

Grand Total: £906.13

The graphics card and motherboard have been cheaper in the past and I've chosen a more expensive PSU, which is why I say £150.

Upgrades: as far as we know, the 5800X3D will be the highest upgrade (for gaming) on this socket, you'd far more likely to get decent CPU upgrades on AM5.

The 5600 is fast enough to keep up with a better graphics card, so you could upgrade that at least once.

Personally I'd ditch the expensive RGB memory and buy 32GB of 'cheap' memory, like the vulcan OCUK have for £83.
