Hi, I have a budget of about £1000 (no higher) to build a mid range gaming pc. I'll purchase a better monitor down the line. Just wandered what my option are in terms of best bang for buck.

I have a rough idea of components but am not really sure of what works best these days

Kingston NV1 500GB PCIe NVMe M.2 Internal SSD (SNVS/500G)

AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Desktop Processor (6-core/12-thread, 35 MB cache, up to 4.4 GHz max boost)

ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PRO AMD AM4(Ryzen 5000/3000) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0,12+2 Power Stages,2.5Gb LAN,USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C®,Front USB Type-C®, BIOS Flashback, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header) OR ASUS Prime B550M-A/CSM AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen™) microATX Commercial Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, ECC Memory, 1Gb LAN, HDMI 2.1/D-Sub, 4K@60HZ, TPM, ASUS Control Center Express)

EVGA 100-N1-0650-L1, 650 N1, 650W, 2 Year Warranty, Power Supply

Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 Desktop Memory Kit of 2 KF432C16BBAK2/16

Would these components work? and what GPU should I go for??

Many thanks

The 5600 is a good little cpu. A 5800x3D might be better but its £350 and thats a quater of your budget.

This is a whole amd build just under your budget. Im assuming your playing at 1080p or 1440p max.

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £991.80 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

Many thanks for taking the time to give me some advice. I'm not really sure what resolution I would be playing at tbh. Would you be able to recommend a monitor that would be suitable for this build. I have two work monitors that I can use at the moment until I can afford the new one.
 
Many thanks both. Really appreciate your suggestions. I was thinking about MicroATX so I certainly have some options.

If you're gaming go with the 5800x3d if you're really doing non gaming like rendering or something else CPU/core intensive then go 5900x

Thanks. Would a 5700x not give me roughly the same performance but a lot cheaper?? And yeah only really using for gaming

As said the 5800X3D is the best gaming chip even competing with the new 7 series of ryzen. Yes its expensive and you could upgreade to one in a couple of years for even less money. You cant add a 5700 or a X3D to your build within your budget unless your going higher now.

Aerocool also do the case I recommended as a micro_atx

You will also need to change the motherboard to a M-atx version like

Thanks again for your advice. Yeah I may be able to up my budget a little as I might get the majority of components now, however I may wait till after xmas for the GPU or processor and may have a little more cash then.
 
Ok so I think I have a final build based on your recommendations and some research of my own:

CPU COOLER:

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes Cpu cooler, Dual 120mm TL-C12C-S PWM Fan, Aluminium Heatsink Cover, AGHP Technology, for AMD AM4/AM5 Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200​

PSU: GameMax RGB 850W Modular Power Supply 80 Plus Gold
CASE https://www.overclockers.co.uk/aero...BXDcKxbwwU70xwqV3QzGjoJBY9nOmYKxoCZ0EQAvD_BwE
SSD: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-b...-solid-state-drive-wds100t3x0e-hd-58f-wd.html
CPU: 5800x3D
RAM: CORSAIR CMK32GX4M2E3200C16 VENGEANCE LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16 1.35V Desktop Memory - Black

MOBO: Asus TUF Gaming B550M-Plus (AMD AM4) B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard

GPU: MSI AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio 12GB RDNA2 Graphics Card​

I think the cooler and GPU will fit the case. What do you guys think? Have I made any glaring mistakes or decreased performance etc based on you kind original recommendation's??
Many thanks.

Not a decent quality psu mediocre at best spend a bit extra and invest In a psu with 10 year warranty.

That model 6750xt is exactly the max length that the case allows 327mm , it mite be a problem.

Please check to concur.

Hi, These are the max dimensions for the case:

  • Maximum GPU Length - 327mm
  • Maximum CPU Cooler Height - 161mm
And these for the GPU:

Dimensions327 x 137 x 56 mm

So yeah length of the card is max the case can take. Is that going to be an issue?

I'll swap out the PSU for https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...s-gold-certified-fully-modular-ca-00j-ms.html

Do not buy you parts in batches if you can't easily test them once you receive them, you will regret it if something doesn't work. Fair enough if you see an offer for a very cheap SSD which is very unlikely to be faulty and is easy to return/exchange.

Also don't buy a Gamemax PSU, unless you are building the system for someone you don't like. :)

Ok, note taken. I'll replace PSU with: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...s-gold-certified-fully-modular-ca-00j-ms.html

thanks

might be a bit late but why if going for new build go with am4? a 5800X3d is best gaming cpu but the 7600X is on a par for £100 less, and money saved can be put to use with the more expensive mobo/ddr5..but at least you then have a system you can upgrade the cpu down the line

I have not built a pc in years and am completely out of the loop on the what's about, hence my post on this forum. I'd be more that happy for you to recommend a AM5 setup but I imagined it would be out of my budget!
 
Once again many thanks for your time and advice.

Having read through all the posts this is what I think would be best suited for my situation: I've gone ATX as per advice

Do not buy 5200 MT/s RAM if you are already blowing the budget then there is only £35 difference between those and a decent 6000 MT/s EXPO kit. Pointless totally hobbling the build if you are committing to 32GB and DDR5! :D

What if your new budget? ;)

Can you point me in the direction of the 6000 MT/s EXPO kit please.
New budget is about £1200 as I am asking for less expensive parts for xmas presents :)

you can't link a competitors product as goes against forum rules...that being said, link is for shipping from U.S for g.skill stuff..same stuff i put for £201 incl delivery from uk site if you look(with next day delivery)..your site would involve paying for shipping on top of stated price if you continue to payment..I'd stick to buying in UK
