For my sister, she's picked the case just wanted to check and make sure I haven't missed anything, I believe the case can plug into the mobo for uniform lighting but not sure? Some gaming probably the likes of the sims 5 when released and fortnite. No OS, monitor, peripherals just the PC.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £913.84 (includes shipping: £0.00)​

Personally I'd swap that PSU for something abit more reliable and something with longer warranty to cover your system if your sister plans on future upgrades.... I think having a 3700X just for Sims and Fortnite is abit overkill and money could be saved there, I'd consider 3600... :)

Can swap for white ram if wanted . GPU is stronger as cost of less cores

MUCH better PSU​
 
Thanks for the help guys!

Choice of the RAM was in part because of the RGB (matters more to her than to me lol), I've amended and also removed the HDD for now tbh 500gb should be enough, hows this look?

500w would be enough ! But 650w give you extra head room in future though everything will move to be more power eff in the future .

I personally prefer disk space then getting NVMe over SSD etc .
Sins for is 25GB without expansion and then 20GB for Fortnite. Then add in 60GB for OS and lose 15 GB on format . If new Sims came would expect at 50GB mark with assets .

3000-3600 > £73 to 89

Critical also doing their 1TB NVMe for £100


OCUK pricing on 3600 is steeper then others ..
