Hi everyone,
My 16 year-old is looking to build his first “proper” gaming PC. I have some parts that I will be donating to the cause.
I’m hoping some people may be able to offer opinions on the parts we don’t already have. We have a budget of around £800ish for the remaining parts. I’m not keen on going for low-end budget parts and would prefer to go for more the mid-range price level if possible.
The parts I will be donating are:
NZXT H510 Case
Corsair 3200Mhz Dominator Platinum 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) CMD32GX4M2C3200C16
Noctua NF-A14 fans x3
2560x1440p 60hz Dell monitor
Windows 10 Pro licence
Various spinning HDDs
The parts I am looking for recommendations on are:
750W Gold PSU - I have always had over-specced wattage PSUs as I prefer to not have my PSU running flat-out at its near limit all the time – don’t know if this really matters but is my preference. Had been looking at a Corsair TX750M as don't mind semi-modular considering those cables have to be plugged in anyway.
AMD 5600X CPU – Is the stock cooler good enough or is something like a Hyper 212 Black Edition worthwhile?
B550 ATX Motherboard - don't need wifi as will be using Ethernet
GPU RTX 3060 / 3060TI / 3070 – depending on availability and how good his predicted grades are
NVMe SSD 1TB
Thank you very much indeed.
