Said I wasn’t going to buy PCs or hardware anymore but here I am going to buy parts and build a new PC…
I have a small limited budget, about £550, and can get a fairly decent setup (well miles better than what I have now which is over 12 years old now) for what I want. I’ll keep my graphics card (RX 570 8Gb) for now seeing as they are virtually non-existent or selling at stupid prices.
So I’m looking at:
Intel Core i5-10400F (base stroke: 2.90 GHz; socket: LGA1200; 65 watt) box BX8070110400F - £128
MSI B460M-A PRO mATX Motherboard (10th Gen Intel Core, LGA 1200 Socket, DDR4, USB 3.2 Gen 1, Gigabit LAN, DVI-D/HDMI) - £85
Memory D4 3000 16GB C16 Team DeltaRGB K2 - £86
Crucial P2 CT500P2SSD8 500 GB Internal SSD, Up to 2400 MB/s (3D NAND, NVMe, PCIe, M.2), Black - £45 (500Gb) (also have a 1Tb SSD to transfer from current PC)
Corsair VS Series VS500 80 Plus Certified Non-Modular ATX Power Supply - £105
Apevia PRODIGY-WH Micro-ATX Gaming Case with 1 x Tempered Glass Panel, Top USB3.0/USB2.0/Audio Ports, 3 x RGB Fans, White Frame - £113
Comes to £562 and then I’ll have £15 on top for W10 OEM key.
Any thoughts on this before I go ahead and buy?
