Overclockers build, or self build

Owain Knight · 30 Sep 2021 at 17:52

Hi

Looking at the overclockers build
Intel 10th Generation Comet Lake, Intel Core i3 10105F Quad Core, Intel H510 Motherboard, Up to 32GB 3200MHz Memory, SSD/HDD, 7.1 HD Audio, 500W 80 Plus Bronze Rated PSU, Windows 10, Micro-ATX for £599
Is this a decent spec with good upgrade possibilities in a few yes, or should I build my own? I've changed power boxes, graphics cards and ram before but never built one from scratch...
If you would recommend a self build, what would you recommend for £599?
I already have a corsair rm850 power supply which is unused (needed it to try and bring my old one to life but the PC ist kaput

Thanks in advance

What will you be using the PC for and have you already got a GPU as the F CPUs don't have onboard graphics?.

Why pay someone to build it for you, if you can build it yourself?

Owain Knight · 30 Sep 2021 at 18:45

I'll be using it for games, New World etc. Not streaming, not FPS as haven't got the reflexes for that anymore!
Graphics card on my old machine asus GTX650 so a little old now

Oh and I'm a touch nervous about installing the OS, which is the only bonus for someone building it for me

OS install is dead easy these days... Create a bootable USB and just enjoy the ride

Nervous you might break it? You cant break anything by installing the OS wrong.

Well, I'm game for a go, so any advice on a build? For gaming New World, not fps, have a psu (if its any good) for circa 500-600. Most likely will upgrade bits every 6/12 or so, or longer if its expensive !

The main issue is getting a GPU to fit with that sort of budget.

Will the APU be enough to run new world though at a decent playable experience?

I'd be more inclined to pick up the B-grade 10400F that OCUK have for 95 quid and use the difference on a GPU even if it means second hand shopping.

Just seen a youtube vid and 720p low sttings is about 50 fps but can drop. The 10400f and a better gpu would yeild more fps someth8ng like a 1050ti.

Bring back the bb code button .

Yeah it's annoying now to spec builds as it literally means writing in every item with prices, has anyone spoke to Powers at be about it?

Just seeing what could put together with the 5700g as eight cores, and seems to set between the 5600x and 5800x in performance...Can shave off some money, the 5700g for £300, case for £65 (so that's £55 off)..can also go lower mobo...also wanted to check the bb code..guessing you on phones then or tablets? The new mobile site sucks..the stuff it come up with first as relevant is far from imho

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 7 5700G Eight Core 3.8GHz (Socket AM4) APU with RX Vega Graphics - Retail= £329.99
1 x WD Blue SN550 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2B0C)= £74.99
1 x MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard= £129.95
1 x Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey= £59.99

Hi Gents, thanks for the two options!
I see neither of them have a separate graphics card, are integral GPUs good nowadays? I'm assuming I can always add one in later when I can find a decent priced one?

Yes the onboard graphics are good and you can add a gpu at a later date, @Joxeon suggestion is another decent option .

Check out reviews on the 5600g and 5700g
