Hi guys, I am in the process and putting together my first build, i had originally planned on using a 2600 CPU, but if the leaks about the soon to be released 3600 are true, then i shall go for that. As i will buy this CPU as soon as indie benchmarks have backed up my thoughts on this it is unlikely the mobo i get will have the bios for it. Now i know the b450 tomahawk has a bios flash button, so i am right in thinking i can use that to update the bios with no need for a chip to be on the board. Just stick in a USB with the bios file on it, click the button and wait for the red light to stop flashing? Or i am wrong on this? Thanks

Yer the rtx is around 100 pounds more expensive. Out of my budget unfortunately

ohh deffo give that a watch, thanks. i can get both for roughly the same price but i have heard the vega can have issues from some companies.

For 8GB of vram, Would you choose team blue or team red? It will be running with a ryzen 2600, 16gb 3200 RAM and b450 tomahawk board. Thanks Rob

WOW now i have so many more things to think about haha!# Some things from those lists i am deffo gonna research and find out more about. Really wanted to know if anyone spots any fundamental flaws in my list? Thanks

Thats a great shout for the RAM, the RGB was just to be pretty but i like the cost saving of that RAM. GPU would be nice to have an extra 2GB vram have never considered amd gpu's before, havew you tried this GPU?

Thanks for the warning, but i have amazon prime already anyway. Thanks buddy

Hi Everyone, Planning my first build ever! Would love some feedback on the system i have parted out, some is chosen from reviews/budget reason, some of it is cause i like it. Have a budget of £800 GBP My aim is mostly for gaming, but some little picture and video editing too. i would say 85% gaming. Will be using one monitor to begin with, but may move to more later. I do wish to overclock in the future but will buy better cooling for that as and when i can, its not an immediate want but i wish to retain the ability to. I have keyboard and mouse etc already and a new monitor is not included in the £800 budget Parts list is here https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/PmGfw6 Thanks guys
