Need help on improving future PC build

Go to solution Solved by Herman Mcpootis,

do you really need an extra 1TB SSD for storage? get a B450-A Pro/gaming plus/tomahawk instead.

So I already have an RTX 2060, so it isnt included in the list. 

Was going to build a new PC and wanted to make sure I was getting the best parts.

The build is mostly focused on getting max performance in games.

First time building my own PC after owning pre builts for over 5 years, Budget is around £1000 (excluding the GPU).

Wasn't sure on whether I should spend the whole budget, or which parts to improve.

It looks solid. The only thing I'd change is the motherboard to an ASUS TUF X570-Plus, as MSI's X570 boards, at least the lower-end ones, are known for having very bad VRM cooling. Also consider adding in a HDD for mass storage, unless you're sure that 2TB is enough for you.

Yeah it's definitely better and the X570 board I mentioned has a way better VRM and subsequent cooling so you won't play heater XD! 

 

Cheers and good luck building!

It's completely unnecessary for a gaming pc.
