Thoughts on my build...Please...

[macca72]

Evening all - planning a new build, light touch gaming PC that I hope will last me a while.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte B450-I AORUS PRO WIFI (Socket AM4) Mini-ITX Motherboard= £115.99
• 1 x Team Group Dark T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Grey (TDGED4= £59.99
• 1 x Gigabyte 512GB M.2 PCIe x2 NVMe SSD/Solid State Drive= £55.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 2600X 4.20GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £149.99
• 1 x PowerColor Radeon RX 590 Red Dragon 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card *BLACK FRIDAY DEAL*= £149.99

Total: £543.05 (includes shipping: £11.10)​

​

I know I need a PSU, but I've got my eye on an EVGA one that's not on the OC website, adds circa £80 to the build. I also know I can get the 2600x slightly cheaper elsewhere...

Anything glaringly wrong with what I've put together?

Thank you

Maybe stretch to the Ryzen 3600 for like £30ish more?

I opted for the corsair mp510 960gb and its blazingly fast at 3500mbps!

Cheers, don't think I can go for that Motherboard as my case (which I forgot to mention) is ITX. Its the Sharkoon C10 mini.

ah, that gigabyte board needs a cpu to update the bios for ryzen 3000, where as MSI updates without a cpu in for 3000 series support - the board I linked supports out the box ryzen 3xxx

not quite correct.
msi b450 itx does not have cpu-less bios flash.

There are some places that provide a BIOS flash service, some free of charge, FYI. Mine arrived good to go.

Ahh my bad, I only looked at 2-3 msi boards before I bought!
