What is your budget and currency? I'd like to try spend around £700 max.
What will you use the PC for? It will be used for gaming. Mostly just Old School Runescape. Do you need a monitor? If not, what monitor(s) will you be using? Yes monitor will be needed. Do you need a keyboard, mouse, or other peripherals? I have a mouse and keyboard but the keyboard will be too small now. Do you need an operating system? Yes. Will you overclock? What does this mean? Anything else we should know? I've been away from the computer for a while and have just recently gotten back on to play the game I played through childhood (RuneScape). Was looking into building a PC as the laptop I have got and also the MacBook are both dated and struggle to run even the simplest of games. Was hoping someone could direct me in the right path as what to build. I am a complete newbie to PC builds and what may seem like a simple term to you will be confusing to me, so if helping act like I'm just a child lol. |

PCPartPicker Part List
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor (£91.98 @ Aria PC) Motherboard: ASRock B450M Pro4-F Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£67.97 @ CCL Computers) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (£57.99 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Crucial BX500 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£49.00 @ Amazon UK) Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 1660 6 GB GAMING Twin Fan Video Card (£189.99 @ Box Limited) Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400A ATX Mid Tower Case (£56.41 @ Ebuyer) Power Supply: be quiet! System Power 9 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£47.20 @ Amazon UK) Monitor: ViewSonic VX2458-C-MHD 23.6" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor (£144.99 @ CCL Computers) Total: £705.53 Grab any cheapo keyboard for now. I'd ideally be looking at a decent ultrawide monitor or 1440p monitor in your case, but you won't get a decent one for under 200 quid, so 1080p144Hz will have to do. You'll want to overclock the VRAM on that GTX 1660. If you're not going to overclock, then I'd really recommend just spending the extra £10-15 for a GTX 1660 Super. If you can add a tenner, you can swap the Crucial BX500 for a 500GB Crucial P2, worth the upgrade but if you can't manage it then the BX500 is fine. Also, if you want a semi-modular PSU, you can add a tenner for a Corsair CX450M. |
