Hello,

I'm currently building a new build for my friend, I've decided to opt in for a Ryzen 5 build and so far I've come up with this.https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Draconid/saved/Nq2Jxr He will be primarily using it for gamming, and he only has a budget of £500ish so I'm already stretching it and would like to stick to a whit/red theme, I would just like to make sure that everything is compatible and in working order and that there are no problems with the build.

 

Thanks in advanced

He's using it for gaming and I'm not sure what you mean by likely PSU?

What does he want for efficiency? 80+ Gold?, Silver, etc?

He doesn't really care about the efficiency, it just as long as it runs and is able to provide a decent overclock on the Ryzen CPU

Hmm, the problem is I'm already stretching his budget by £70 and trying to fit in a better PSU just doesn't seem possible, if its possible to find a better PSU for the same price then much is appreciated.

It is alright with the current PSU, but if you are getting a more high end card get  the PsU i said before

The main problem is that due the cyrptocurreny mining thing with the RX cards finding a 570 is going to be extremely hard.

The Corsair CXM 450W will handle a better card. He doesn't need to change it.
