Perfect, so would this kind of be the best it can get for this price then? Pretty much £750 exactly, the list doesn't give the price of the cooler though (£25 on CCL) and Windows 10 for like another £25-30 on Kinguin

looking good, and you're right on budget!

Consider buying the OS key from kinguin. 750 pounds is 990 dollars so this build will more or less give you smooth 60 fps on max settings on games like battlefield 1, witcher 3 and games that are more or less that demanding.

So there's a lot in this system that has what I don't need or doesn't have what I need. So the Ram is kinda overkill already, seeing as for $60 cheaper I can get 8GB instead and see how that copes, then decide if I'd want another 8GB. Jumping straight to 16GB seems a little silly to me. As for storage I need a lot of space which is why in my op I said I favour that over speed, which is why a decent 3TB HDD is ideal, that also saves another $60. Then the power supply is way overkill too, considering this is only a (not cheap but not high-end) budget build, I can get the CXM450W for another $40 cheaper. So that $160 that are saved by cutting back could be put towards something else in the system (for my personal needs anyway) such as a decent cooler, some good fans, a nicer looking case, etc.

 

The biggest problem is that this system would cost just under £1000 here, which is £250 over my budget for something that still doesn't include Windows. Because of Brexit the pound's value has declined and prices do vary greatly between countries for components now. Plus we don't have the same stores as you to buy from so the deals and price cuts and such aren't the same. So that case you chose costs an extra $70 over here although the CPU is $3 cheaper.

So this seems like a pretty decent build too, especially since kinguin windows is fairly cheap so I'd only be a tiny bit over budget. I think I'd cut back on the CPU (Ryzen 5 1400) and ram (8GB of DDR4-3000, feel like 16GB is overkill atm, maybe for an upgrade along the road), and buy a decent cooler for the CPU too, as well as maybe a nicer looking case?

the 1600 will perform much better than the 1400 in gaming, and more games are recommending 16gb of ram so i'd stick with that.
