Hey all,
I really could do with some help, even though i've been reading a lot on here recently (my brain is fried, and i'm constantly changing my mind on parts)
In a nutshell, my son who is 15 has asked for a gaming pc for xmas, and a friend of mine in work suggested that we build one ourselves as his son has recently done this himself and it wasn't that hard, and it was a good lesson for him to learn about different components etc... plus opportunity to save some money on a pre built machine.
My son already has a LG 27UK850 4K IPS Freesync Monitor With USB-C, and we've been thinking about the following parts:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
MSI B550 Gaming Edge Wifi
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb DDR4-3200 CL16
Crucial P1 1TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD
Sapphire Radeon RX5700 XT 8GB Pulse Video Card
Corsair RM (2019) 750W 80+ Gold certified Modular ATX Power Supply
Cooler Master Master Box TD500 Mesh White w/controller
Currently adding up to £1108 - and if possible i'd like to get this down to 1k mark on Black Friday hopefully.
My question is are there better components that I could get for the money, or is a reasonably good build?
I welcome all advice that you guys can offer as this is a completely new hobby that we are getting into, and looking forward to learning as much as possible.
Thanks all.
