Hello, I was in the process of building a gaming pc but I had to put it on hold as I found out my girlfriend was pregnant and couldn't afford to finish it.

My current parts:

CASE: NZXT S340
RAM: corsair vengeance 2x 4GB DDR4
GPU: Asus GTX 950 strix
SSD: 500GB (Fogot manufacturer)
HDD: 1TB Barracuda

Could some please finish this build for me think I need CPU, CPU cooler, Motherboard and PSU

Looking for the cheapest possible parts as I just want to finish the build I started

Budget: cheap as possible under 350
Currency: GBP


Will +REP for finished build

Many thanks

-Heski

Stock cooler will be fine for now. Upgrade to an aftermarket whenever you have a little extra.

Don't get that 520W Seasonic PSU. Get one of these instead;

Both are better quality. The Vengeance is a great unit but is non modular. The CX450M is semi-modular, not as good as the Vengeance but still better than the Seasonic unit.

Also, depending on what exactly you're using the system for, you could swap the i5-8400 for an i3-8100 to save a bit of money.
