Compatibility advice

[mirrorofjim]

New to the site, I have not built a PC for a long time so just want some help making sure this is compatible plus the best possible rig for the money.

Location: UK

Budget £1300ish

I need everything aside from a keyboard

Use: Mainly gaming, office work and light family photo / video editing

Features: Would like it to be as quiet and small as possible, I don’t care for RBG or anything flashy.
Types of games: Broad mix; Civ, RDR2, Minecraft, will probably get Game Pass

Current rig: my imagination

If you plan to OC, you can grab the Dark Rock 4 instead. Better SSD (performance and endurance), better GPU

The motherboard is Zen 2 ready and also have Wi-Fi.

This is a nice build. Although, i don't think anyone needs to OC lower end Ryzen SKUs as they dont provide much OC headroom and already run at almost peak performance.
