I've been figuring out a good pc build to replace my dead laptop (celeron lol) and dying xbox. Based off of what I've read, the ryzen 5 2600 seems the best bet. I've been debating whether to go for the rx 570 or gtx 1060 (3gb), believing the 570 is better value. I've decided to get both a hdd and m.2 ssd, to give me speed and capacity. Split between 8gb or 16gb of ram, and haven't chose a case yet. (Don't worry I'll factor in the graphics card size xD) Is there anything I might wanna look out for, any critiques, or anything better value for money plz let me know. Prices are kinda different for me, all the way over in the UK.

Woah fast replies. I could do atx/m-atx, if that's cheaper motherboard and case wise. Originally aiming for £500, thinking of stretching the budget to £600 or even £700. The pound is bad atm so £1=$1 in the tech world. I'm fairly new to the whole thing so advice is much appreciated

If you're still looking for ITX, I'll just refer you to my bio real quick

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Woah that's pretty good value. Do you think that swapping the 580 for a 570 would be a good call? It saves me about 50 quid. And how much would it cost to go for 16gb of ram?

Thanks for the help guys. Might be coming back for more help. BTW does anyone know if any of the components could become cheaper in the next 6 months?

CPU (2600) will probably drop 20-40£ with the release of Ryzen 3000. (april/May 2019)

 

Mobo maybe 5-10 £

 

the rest will probably remain relativly stable.
