Hi, first time posting so be nice. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.
This is what I have so far:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Frostyfeet909/saved/3DZDxr

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X - £134

Cooler: Deepcool Gammax 400 - £23

Motherboard: MSI B450-A Pro - £80

Memory: G.skill DDR4 16GB 3000Mhz - £65
Storage: Intel 660p 1TB SSD - £98

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1660Ti 6GB OC - £275

Case: Meshifly C - £80

PSU: Corsair TMX 750W 80+ Gold - £80 

1. Budget & Location

I live in the UK and I'm going for a budget of around £800-£900.

 

2. Aim

I want to use this mainly for gaming (Monster hunter world, World of Warcraft, Rimworld etc.) but I'll also be doing some university work on here, mostly just writing up reports and some browsing.

3. Monitors

Only 1 monitor at the moment 1080p 60Hz but I'm planning on getting another one in the next couple of months.

 

4. Peripherals

Standard Keyboard and mouse is all I'll be using and I already have windows. So don't take OS or any peripherals into account for the budget.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

New build, wanting to get away from my awfull laptop.

That looks so much better Thanks!
Would it be worth spending £10 more on the GPU for one manufactured by MSI or will they preform the same?

the cooler is the same so they perform exactly the same. you can go with a different company if they offer better support in the UK but i wouldn't worry about it.

if you can spend the extra, pick up the 5700xt thicc II instead, the reference 5700XT isn't good.
