Verify my £500 budget PC with me please

[CyberJam Sam]

Hey computer fans, I have a build for you to verify!

I am in the U.K (£, GBP)

£1 = $1.3 US

I am currently getting my build for my life here at my mums sorted out and I am working on a tight budget (£500 max, as cheap as possible). I have worked out a great (I think) build, however, as it is my first time and I'm not exactly the worlds best expert, I may have tripped up. I would like to know if:

 

A) all parts are compatible (I think they are)

B) all parts are optimal / best for the job

C) if I have found the best prices for all parts

D) are all cables there (such as PSU or FanHub)

E) are there any better solutions at the same price

F) would thermals be an issue (CPU StuckCooler in use)

 

I have looked around for a while for best prices, but there still may be some better ones out there. Also, in terms of graphics card, I know the RX460 (AMD) is more budget friendly but I have watched some videos and the 1050 is worth the little extra in my opinion. I'm only looking to play things like CS:GO, Rocket League and maybe a bit of Planet Coaster so no spectacular requirements are an issue. I have all peripherals so I do not need any more. My monitor is 1080p.

 

So, for the bit you've all been waiting for: the build:

It may not be the most interesting build or forum post, but feel free to brag about your builds and give me any criticism, constructive or not. Im ready for your potato and toaster comments. Just note, I have a not-so-budget computer at my dads  Fire Away!

I would definitely be looking to the second hand market on this tight of a budget. You can get some great deals and get much more 'bang for your buck'. I am also from the UK so I will have a look around for you.

[quiffghtyu]

I have built a very capable PC for around £150

 

CPU - Q6600

RAM - 8gb of DDR2

GPU - GTX 660 2gb

 

Can run csgo at 60 at medium to low settings.

That makes no sense. Of course you can. Most second hand computer gear is like new for a fraction of the original price.

[quiffghtyu]

You can get a Ryzen 3 1200 for pretty much the same price as that i3.

if you buy 4 year old ram and 4 year old motherboard when you want to upgrade you have to buy a new mother new ram and a new cpu

 with a new system you dont you can go up to an i7/1700

Well the seller is selling it less than the price. Does not accept returns..

Seems to have decent feedback though.

None of this is helping with my question though. I appreciate it though, but can we keep on topic. Thank you!
