New build... Thoughts?

Hey guys, 

 

I am build my first build and just wanted your thoughts on it, open to any suggestions on how to improve it.

 

I want a build that is yes budget at the moment but has room for improvements in the future (when I have more money). Hence why some of the choices may look a bit weird (b550).

 

If you guys totally disagree with what I'm doing please tell me.

 

Thanks, 

James

Looks very solid. Could maybe get a 550W for future upgrades as 450W doesn't give you much headroom. Should be good for this build though

No it isn't £689.65, because it doesn't work like that. Also why are you using the USA option when there is a UK one ?

This is £790 with UK retailers, and that excludes the PSU. I find as a general rule £1=$1. Although GBP are worth a fair bit more than a dollar, with importing and taxes for pc parts it generally works out the same

We also get robbed here because electronics are taxed more so we have to pay about equal to the dollar amount.

Google is correct. It's just that the retailer's don't convert the price precisely from USD to GBP. If we were paying in USD in the UK, it would be more than those in the US

It does kinda suck. However at the moment pc parts are pretty reasonably priced (surprising given the current situation) ram, cases, PSUs and CPUs aren't to bad. Graphics cards don't convert well though, and laptop pricing is horrible

I think you can shave off some cost with standard SATA SSD and buy a RX 5700 or 5700XT! :)

Not sure how that is relevant ? Just use the UK pcpartpicker and you don't have to guess what the prices are.

Or you could just use pcpartpicker and change the Country to UK. Doing a currency conversion isn't the same.
