Wasn't your budget £600 now it's looking like a £300+ increase?

You mentioned you needed a monitor, keyboard and mouse, yet in both the builds you posted, those peripherals are now gone; which, add to the budget more than it already did. There's also little reason to pay the £40 premium for a 1600x over a 1600, when you can easily overclock the 1600 to reach speeds of the 1600x.

The build 13 gave you will suffice for 1080p gaming. Not every game will run max settings at 1080p, but CSGO isn't hard to run at all. H1Z1 should be looking at an easy mid 50's - 60 FPS on ultra settings. Haven't seen benchmarks for a Ryzen 3 1200 with a 1050 Ti on that game, but I can't imagine it being bad.

Do you still need the monitor, keyboard and mouse, since they were removed in the 2 builds linked in the topic?

Going off the PM you sent me with the part list - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
It's using an £800 budget, so I'll work with this as you asked if it's better for the extra.

This is a logical upgrade that you did, since more cores will fair you better for your rendering; however there are some changes you can make.

You can dial back on the case to the one 13 linked you and include both an SSD and HDD. I removed the CPU cooler because it is out of stock and the stock cooler will suffice for now.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


Or

You dial back to 8 GB of RAM and upgrade in the future. Your motherboard is a dual-channel RAM (4 slots for RAM) so you can add in the exact same RAM and have 4x4GB for 16GB RAM to utilise the dual-channel.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

From here, you can add the case you put in your list you sent me, add an aftermarket cooler or add in another SSD/HDD for more storage or simply just save yourself money.

Now if you're sole hardly set on a £700 budget, you can get 13's build with pretty much the same equipment he listed, except an added HDD with the SSD and RAM speeds of 3,000MHz. This also leaves you the room to change the case if you really wanted to or simply save the money.

There are a few other changes you could opt for on a £700 or £800 budget, but these are some examples.
