My first pc build

Budget (including currency): £600 (Can spend more to make it future proof)

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone / autocad / php coding

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

Hello, I'm new to this so please go easy! 

 

I nearly bought a gaming laptop but got talked out of it so going to build a better PC for less, hopefully.

 

I'm not too fussed about the case itself, something small-ish would be nice. 

 

While keeping the costs down i would like to future proof it so I can upgrade it more at a later date without starting from new. 

 

Could anyone recommend me a build?

Have you watched any of Linus' builds on his Youtube channel? I know he's posted some recent really good budget builds.  The following 2 might help and be fairly close to your budget based on currency conversion (if the prices for the parts are roughly the same where you are). Others will probably be able to give you other ideas as well, as not knowing what parts actually cost for you, I would be hard pressed to figure out a build just off currency conversion.

Are you able to wait a bit? As all graphics cards right now are either massively inflated or out of stock. if you have to build now, this is what I would go with. If you can wait for prices to go back to normal, then just swap out the graphics card for a 1660 super (which should retail at £200-£240) Also, if you can wait for the Ryzen 3 3100 to come back in stock on amazon, it should be about £20 cheaper than at Scan.

Thank you, 

 

So this build here, would this run warzone on high settings or just medium? 

 

Thank you

I would get the 10100F since it's much cheaper for about the same performance.

Thank you, do you think that would run warzone and cad programs?

You could run warzone but not on ultra settings. As for cad, I'm not really familiar with it, so someone else could probably answer that question better.
