Hi all,
I may have gone overboard with the spec for my needs, but as you can tell by the build in my sig, I don't tend to upgrade very often, so require something that will last me a while. It will be used for general PC tasks plus light 1080p gaming, I tend to play a bit of Enlisted and am trying Hell Let Loose. I've currently have an RX6600 that I will add to this build, so no need for a gfx card, and will upgrade that later as required.
There's no 'max budget' as such and I'm happy to pay for required quality parts, but anything too extravagant will be wasted on me.
My basket at OcUK:
Here's the reasoning for my picks, but I don't really know what I'm looking for...
CPU - I've gone for the 7700 as I don't upgrade very often and 8 cores are better future proofed(?) although I think a 7600 would do for my current needs and upgrade later if needed?
CPU Cooler - I've just gone on reviews and it seems good value
RAM - No idea what I'm looking for just gone for most sold DDR5
Motherboard - no idea, just picked one. I was thinking a MSI B650 Gaming Plus based on reviews, but OCUK don’t seem to stock it.
Storage - Just picked the most sold M2 drive. I also have a spare 4TB SSD that will be added to the build
Case - I just want a plain black and quiet case, not sure if I need the additional fans?
PSU - Just picked one.
I know some items a pre order, but I won't be purchasing for a few weeks.
Thanks,
