First Build.

[_lucalink]

I'm going to be building my first pc and am wondering if this is a good config for around £900 including all peripherals.

I have left some room on this config to buy an OEM windows key and a bluetooth adapter so I can use my existing headphones.

I have had to add the Monitor as it was not listed on pcpartpicker as well as the case as the price was showing up differently and the GPU as I found it on a deal with a free decent quality gaming mouse.

If you go with last gen Ryzen, you can have a way better gaming PC for around the same price.

The Config I have made includes a monitor as well.

There is only a £45 difference between the 3600 and the 2600

Swap out that board for an MSI B450-A PRO MAX. That Asus board is junk.

 

I would also go with the SN550 SSD for a few quid more.

Then get the Ryzen 2600 and upgrade your graphics card to an RTX 2060 or a Radeon 5700.

 

A better GPU will give you better gaming performance at this price point.

I could only afford to upgrade the GPU if I got a 75hz monitor.
