First PC Build

[barduar]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to build a PC based in the UK. (so i get the lovely high prices). My pc will be a for gaming and need it to be compact for my uni room. My gaming range is quite broad but not overly excessive on pc performance. My budget is around £650-£700. I'm not too bothered with 244hz or gaming above 1080p so any monitor i'm quite happy with. I have a keyboard mouse headset ect so really concentrating on monitor and pc (i have os key). Primarily i'm looking at a ryzen system a 5 2600x or 5 3600, and a gtx 1650s. Any recommendations or changes? (this is what i was looking at so far)

If at all possible I'd recommend you go for the GTX 1660 Super. Performance-wise it's close to that of the base RTX 2060 but without the ray-tracing capabilities.

just 2 things i advice

1 get a mid tower case, it is a nightmare trying to build in those mini ones(i know you need a small build but the mid tower aren't that much bigger than the mini ones)

2 consider any gpu with 8gb of ram in it, although not super important but if you play any badly optimized games it will impact performance a ton (like pubg)

If you can go slightly over your £700 limit.
