Hi,

As title suggests I'm looking for some advice on a PC build. I built my current gaming PC 8 years ago, so it's currently outdated. My knowledge of the current builds and specs for gaming is also equally outdated having been out of the sphere of everything pc and video games for some time. I'm getting old aha! Also apologies I'm in the Uk so I'm working off pounds.
What is your budget and currency? £500-600 (can vary if needed, hence some guidance on specs)
What will you use the PC for? Gaming - I've just got back into gw2 and I would like the option to play Warzone cross platform. If the budget is needed to reflect this then please feel free to go up or down
Do you need a monitor? If not, what monitor(s) will you be wanting? 144hz 1080p. I currently have this monitor but feel free to recommend something better if this insufficient: ASUS VE278Q
Do you need a keyboard, mouse, or other peripherals? no
Do you need an operating system? no
Will you overclock? eventually maybe but would prefer not to.
Anything else we should we know? I already have a decent case. I would think everything is in need of a replacement. Ideally aesthetically something under the radar would be nice, I have no need for leds and the sort.

Thank you for any recommendations, information and General tips.

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor (£97.99 @ Amazon UK)
Motherboard: ASRock B450M Pro4-F Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£68.79 @ CCL Computers)
Memory: Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (£59.90 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Crucial P2 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (£63.91 @ Ebuyer)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB OC Video Card (£214.95 @ AWD-IT)
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case (£44.99 @ AWD-IT)
Power Supply: Corsair CX (2017) 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£54.99 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £605.52

Just recommend anew case that will definitely be compatible, since I don't know what case you currently have. Honestly though, if you're buying a new case anyway, I'd just spend a tenner more than the Q300L and get yourself a Phanteks Eclipse P400A;

If you can re-use your current case though, then the £45 you save could be put towards a better motherboard(MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX) or a larger 1TB NVMe SSD instead of 500GB.
