1. The new pricing gives me a good idea of what the maximum a part can be. 2. Second Hand pricing has averages i can work out (also I even said in the original post that I would get some parts second hand)

i know that pricing fluctuates over time, its just ik that I'm too lazy and will forget to do it later until there is 1 week to buy all the parts ^-^; Also i will probably buy most of it second hand to save costs thanks for the reply tho :3

Windows is on the ssd

forgot to list storage ^-^; Going to edit now, also I'm wanting to upgrade cause i cant upgrade my CPU any further that's meaningful, with an AM4 B450 motherboard I can upgrade my CPU to Zen 3 and get higher performance

Im looking at parts now so i can tell my dad a rough estimate of how much im wanting is, and thanks for the welcome :3

I have been slowly upgrading a Dell OptiPlex 3020 into an below okay low end gaming rig for a few months now (like 8 - 10 months) and am needing a new pc so i thought I would ask the LTT Forum for some help! also i overheard my dad saying that he will just buy me a pc so I don't constantly ask for upgrades which sparked me to look around for some parts to build one so he doesn't get me and intel based machine that has a GT 710 (Just to note that my dad thinks that Intel Is Better than AMD For value and performance cause the last time he bought a pc was 8-6 years ago so in the replies could you also state why AMD is now better, cause I don't have much knowledge of how intel went from a good choice to a bad choice for consumers) Budget (including currency): £300 - £400 (idk the exact) Country: United Kingdom Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Premiere Pro, Obs Studio, Games (can be run on low settings if needed (I'm used to it lol) ) I'm going to be doing some Gaming, Video editing and recording with some livestreaming, need a rig that is capable of doing those simultaneously. Parts CAN be second hand I plan on getting a GPU second hand I am upgrading from: (was a dell OptiPlex 3020 before i did some small upgrades) CPU: i5-4590 (4c/4t) GPU: R5 240 (bad lol) RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 1600 MHz Motherboard: idk all that ik is that it doesn't restart (black screen when I try) CPU Cooler: Unidentifiable, looks like a intel default with some random no name fan on it. Storage: 500GB HDD (idk the speed) 240GB SSD Going to buy parts in October Want to play games at 1080p 60fps Any Settings (100% Resolution Scale) Current Parts List: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/ZF162ZMB87SI?ref_=wl_share No Peripherals needed All help is greatly appreciated!
