Hey guys,

New member here, I've gone through OCUK, and I've seen quite few good builds and specs suggestions.

I would like to build a Gaming PC, just need a Tower - budget £500-600, as I have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This is my first time building, so I'll obviously be looking through how to build, and learn.

The frame rate/quality doesn't need to be high-end, medium would do, as long as it runs smoothly.

Desktop would be used for gaming, such as CS, Fortnite, and others that are similar. As well as general surfing, youtube, netflix and etc.

Any tips/suggestions is hugely appreciated.

Thanks.
 
@Minibiker build is good, I can work with that, spending money on components is better than the looks.
Thanks for your suggestions, appreciate it hugely.

@Gray2233 I can live with spending little bit more for a better usage, the SSD is okay for now, if needed, I could expand on that maybe in the future.

I'll wait a bit to see if there are any other suggestions before proceeding with the options.

Thanks for your inputs, helps so much. :)

Yea, I saw that one, I added that into the basket, for now, till probably for an hour or 2 before I go for it.
The offer seems good for that in comparison to the 570.
 
@tamzzy more storage seems good, especially if the total cost is lower.
The case seems good too, along with the updated rx590 included and 650W PSU instead of 550W PSU.
 
I'd say fitting into the budget helps a lot, and less clutter using semi-modularity would be a factor too.
Larger capacity at the moment would probably be better than getting it after a short moment, and as long it could last at least a year or so, it should be decent.
Upgrading my computer would probably be maybe after a year minimum, once I can get boost my budget.
 
Yea, I don't go for max fps, or at max detail, I'm used to playing at low quality aha, but your options helps hugely, making it into the bracket.
I will go for your options, for:
1. Cheaper + fits into the budget
2. The case has 4 included fans, white LED
3. Has more storage SSD

Don't think there's more reasons to it, as it would run okay.

Thanks guys! :)
 
Hey guys.
Sorry again to annoy you, but I was just wondering, the SSD I was ordering:
500GB 2.5" BARRACUDA 120 SATA SOLID STATE DRIVE (ZA500CM1A003)
is still on pre-order, and have no clue when they're going to release it, so is there any other alternatives to this to fit with the specs?
I mean, £40-65 I can spend on.

Thanks.
