Pc build spec advice

[Markwalton]

Morning all

looking at building my first ever pc. I’d only be playing football manager and using office for now and believe I can run this via the integrated graphics of the CPU. Toward the end of the year I’ll want to play the likes of forza horizon 5, call of duty etc and hope the graphics card prices will have returned somewhat to normal and I can purchase the GPU then.

Would love some advice on the spec below:


Motherboard ASUs tuf gaming B560 micro atx motherboard with Wi-fi


CPU I5 11-400


RAM Corsair vengeance Rgb pro SL 2x8gb 3200mhz RAM


GPU GeForce rtx 3060ti (to be purchased at a later date)


SSD 980 nvme m.2. Samsung 1tb pcie 3.0


CPU cooler cooler master hyper 212 rgb black edition


Thermal paste


Case Corsair 4000x rgb


Power supply cooler master MWE white 600 230v

this spec would cost me £675 and then I’d await the GPU market to come back to some normality. If it hits RRP prices again the 3060ti would be 379 bringing the total to £1055.

thanks all

Solid budget build, I would go 650-750w psu though and get a 2-4gb HDD for storage, it will prolong the life of your NVME.

cheers. Placed the order earlier. Went with a 650 gold plus standard PSU following the advice.

is it easy enough to add an HDD at a later date for storage?
