Im looking to build a new pc, On a budget of 400 GBP. Its not alot but its all i have to work with at the moment. I was looking around on forums and came across this pc.

I was going to swap the i3 for a n i5 of some sort. And instead of the 1050ti, Go for a Rx 580. Thoughts ?

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1 GHz Quad-Core Processor (£55.97 @ Amazon UK)
Motherboard: ASRock - B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£67.97 @ CCL Computers)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£39.18 @ Aria PC)
Storage: Crucial - BX500 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£50.39 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: MSI - Radeon RX 570 4 GB ARMOR OC Video Card (£124.99 @ Amazon UK)
Case: BitFenix - Nova ATX Mid Tower Case (£31.00 @ AWD-IT)
Power Supply: XFX - XT 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£35.93 @ CCL Computers)
Total: £405.43


I don't really like the Corsair Spec-05 case, and it's not very good(but most £30-40 cases aren't). For £35 though, it's an alright option;

Wouldn't pay more than 35 quid for it though.

Thanks for your help and reply, The games i would be playing most are Battlefield, Arma3 and thats probably all for now. Would this PC handle well in the BF franchise? My current pc runs okay on BF4 but sometimes i get lag spikes when alot of happening. I know Arma is hard to run smooth constant. Thanks.

Also, I have a HDD so wont need another one but ill upgrade my SSD. Does anyone else have anymore builds around 300-400GBP?

Honestly 400GBP is not a lot for a PC. 21's build is probably the best you're going to get. If you don't need the SSD, replace it with a RX 580 or get another 8GB stick of RAM. If you don't need the PC right now I would save up another 200-400GBP for a decent build. Not to mention AMD is most likely coming out with new CPUs and hardware in general within a month or two that might lower some current prices. So basically, waiting and saving up more GBP should get you a better build that will perform better in the games you want to play.
