can anyone help me get to 500 pounds in a buget while having parts close to this with i7 and 32gb of ram and a board with wifi and Bluetooth built in

You want to shave £300 off that while still getting something close to those specs? Not doable. Either increase your budget or make do with lesser specs.

The i7 plus the RAM alone brings you to £437. You can't fit motherboard, case, power supply, cooler and storage in £63. If you want to spare some money definitely lose the rgb fan and thermal paste which are useless. By the way, you DO need a cooler for that CPU as it doesn't come with one.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Go down to 16 GB of ram and drop the shitty rgb fans ... you saved 100 pounds. 

Could probably save 30-ish pounds by choosing a motherboard without wifi or maybe with another chipset ... you can add wifi and ram later 

 

Or you could go the AMD route and buy yourself a Ryzen 5 3600 for 170 pounds which also comes with an acceptable stock cooler, then go down to a 120-150 pound motherboard with the b550 chipset and you may just fit into the 500 pound budget.

 

The 5 3600 is not quite as fast as the 10700k but you can sell it and upgrade to something more powerful in the future when you have more money, without losing much in the process.

Your best bet in shaving anything down price wise is to look at used/refurb in advanced search in new egg for motherboards that do what you want, look at the block diagram in the users manual via the support page consider building in WiFi yourself/ if that’s all a nice price to performance option is missing/

fans if you have a pc recycler like Free geek near you you could likely get fans for 1 Monetary unit or less plus VAT?

 

evga is launching a new power supply line I’d visit the webpage to see if they are doing promos in your region the 

 

if you have a local classified used marketplace I’d look at ddr4 and pc cases 

used pc prices are filing ridiculous but sometimes you can find a deal

 

you didn’t mention your cooling solution is there one in the box?

 

you have a pretty price sensible build shaving off  300 units  of my currency if your not willing to give up performance tuning the PC in or a top a box 📦 would affect it if there was adequate air flow or within a modest distance from an AC, save more &/or hunt for deals 

 

Thought I should say if you do consider no case 🤙🏼 Consider environmental hadrosaur such as pets and consider the pc a hazard for children

Your case follows some standards.  It accepts either only mATX motherboards, or it accepts either mATX or ATX motherboards, or accepts even larger than ATX motherboards. 

 

mATX is same width as ATX motherboards, just shorter (only 2-3 slots at the bottom)


A wireless card can be bought separately for as little as 5-10$, there's no point limiting your choices. 

 

Your best option would probably to buy a refurbished / used computer for around 150-200 pounds with some i5 4th gen or something newer and 8-16 GB DDR3/DDR4 and then buying some used RX 480 / RX 570 / RX 580 / GTX 1060 or something like that.

 

Should have bought a video card half a year or a year ago, I sold an extra RX 570 card I had for less than 100 pounds (in my local currency).

That doesn't really help, does it? So should a lot of us, but many (like myself) simply weren't in a position to.

Só can anyone help me out here bucause the gpu shortage is killing me. Alsó the motherboard shoud fit in my case which has 24x24cm clearance. And can it have WiFi and Bluetooth as well. 

Just save your money or use the integrated graphics in a CPU like the 11400 and then in a GPU later on.

With abit of wizardry i could fit a 5700g + 32gb ram in this budget xD

 

Case wise you can find some cheap scrap case for 3$ or free, take the sidepanel off (old cases have trash airflow), and stick the pc in there. Or just screw the case altogether and stick the thing ontop the mbs cardboard box

 

You will want to overclock the absolute crap out of the ram and igpu, ram wise 4000-4200mhz is what most cpus do so aim for that ram freq, igpu wise just crank the volts and run it as fast as possible

 

Cpu wise you are better off undervolting abit since your main bottleneck will be the igpu just to lower temps and give avit more thermal headroom for the igpu, run the highest stable freq with a volt of 1.25 or 1.3v, though if you dont wanna bother tuning the cpu then just turn pbo off
