Hi guys, been probably about 6/7 years since my last full build. And thank god its time again!

Going to be using for gaming, some streaming, some server hosting potentially. I've left the GPU out of the build for the moment, going to hold on for this whole stock supply to sort itself out and then decide on Nvidia V AMD. Will also be reusing the m.2/ssds and hdds from my current machine, potentially grabbing a 1tb adata m.2 at some point.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on slightly cheaper or better value parts at all with this build? Especially when it comes to the PSU, I assume 850W should be the aim these days?

(I've also seen I can get the RAM about £50 cheaper from Corsair themselves, but on most parts going to hold on for a couple weeks for black Friday and see whats on offer)

Cheers!

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,312.20 (includes shipping: £12.30)

Awesome, thanks Biz.

I'd taken a look at the MAG B550 before myself, and was my second consideration, so will have a think!
Same for the RAM, will see what I can get on Black Friday, gives myself a couple different options then.

Was looking at the specs for the new gpus, and from what I saw the new amd ones seem to be pretty power hungry.
Worth the risk going for 750W, or better to be safe, especially for potential upgrades later down the line?

Cheers again! :)

b550 is very solid platform, good choice to go for.

If you can save £10/20 on the RAM then going for the 850w is not a bad idea, at least that way 850w should definitely last you a good few upgrades!
