Heya! I'm planning a build for when I start my CS degree, which will be used for gaming, coding, and whatever is thrown my way during my degree. I'm looking at a budget of around £1000 (not including peripherals).

I have this (https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/PRRn4q)

It's just a wip, so I'd really appreciate help.

 

Thanks a bunch!

Cian

 

P.S I live in the UK

Can't go wrong with the 2600, looks pretty good overall. 

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

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Good build. Although I would get higher tier cooler if you plan on overclocking 1700x. Dark Rock 4 for example.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

That motherboard is good enough for high OC's on an octacore.
