New PC

[MattK01]

Hi I’m making a first build for my girlfriend and I need to put together a part list. I’ve built PC’s in past but I am not 100% sure about the components.

Located in England
Budget ~£650-700
Would be used for gaming only

Peripherals like monitor/keyboard etc will be bought separately so not included in the budget
The only thing that she asked for is the case to be pink/white white/pink

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers for checking. Didn't think of checking the Phanteks site

Appreciate the comment, I’ll have a look into it

Will be over budget but think worth saving a bit more.
I'd try base it round a 6750XT gpu...xfx rx 6750xt speedster can be had for £299...will be 50% faster than the 6600 above.
Plenty of amd 5600 around 2nd hand(or can get a 5600x new for £89, but would require a cooler.. a36 freezer dual rgb in white can be had for £23), and the upgrade path would be a 5800x3d which still holds it's own against todays cpu's for gaming
can get the 750W nzxt C750 fully modular psu for £70 at mo(10 yrs warranty)
Now as your girlfriend wants white, and going for a black mobo below, going for white corsair vengeance rgb 3200c16 for £72...those with the front 3 rgb fans of the case, coupled with rgb a36 cooler should give you plenty of scope to give a pinkinsh glow and keep white theme
dropping to 1tb ssd, but it's fast and on offer

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Montech AIR 903 Max Midi-Tower Tempered Glass - White (SKU: CAS-MON-01230) = £59.99
• 1 x Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus WIFI II (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6HX-AS) = £105.99
• 1 x Lexar NM790 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 Solid State Drive (LNM790X001T-RNNNG) (SKU: STO-LEX-01452) = £59.99

Total: £237.96 (includes delivery: £11.98)​

​

So cpu 2nd hand £60​

Cooler £23​

mobo above £106​

Ram £72...can get non rgb white for £10 less but trying to give that theme​

m.2 £60​

psu £70​

Case £60​

GPU £299​

​

comes to £750 with £60 cpu 2nd hand..£780 if you want new​

​

my brains going..have I missed anything?​

​

​

edit: Pink and white mini unicorn figure that can sit inside case on the psu shroud to finish it off​

Thank you for the explanation! Would it be worth waiting couple months for the AMD prices to go down/ closer to Christmas ? And how long would this build last before needing upgrade ?

Looking at this build it looks like she’s gonna have a better PC than me
