New build help (UK)

It's been a long while since I've done a self build, so I'm mostly using this to make sure it fits my needs and I'm not overspending somewhere I shouldn't be. 

 

It'll primarily be a gaming rig, mostly used for Grim Dawn, LoL with the potential option to maybe dabble in some newer games such as Monster Hunter World, at 1080p 60fps. I already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse and WiFi adaptor sorted. Budget is around £700.

You should not buy mini itx version of 1660 super, if you wont build mini itx build.

for 60 bucks more. 2 more fans, cooler, wuiter and better performance

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Unless you want to overclock, consider a 2600X cpu.

 

I'd also suggest slightly better memory.

 

Unless you really need 1.5TB of storage consider simplifying storage and going with a 1TB NVMe.

 

I'd suggest a gpu with better cooling.

 

The OP psu is an older design that does not have some of the protections available in newer designs.

 

The case comes with a single fan. An additional fan is required for decent airflow.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
