PC Buid Help

Samwise1765

I was posting on here a while ago about building a new pc and its finally getting close to the time where i will be building the pc. But im still unsure about what parts i want, heres what ive come up with so far https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xdz2TH. I want to know if i should stick with these parts or if i can get more performance for this amount of money. I dont want to spend anymore than £500GBP. Also keep in mind i would like to use this pc for streaming things like World of Warcraft and CSGO on occasion.

 

All help welcome!

I'd strongly advise on getting a GTX 1050Ti instead.

no, that pentium is a dual core with hyperthreading, good enough for an rx 480.

I'd try and avoid PowerColor. XFX, MSI, ASUS, or even Sapphire would be better
