New PC Help Please!!

Budget (including currency): £700ish

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Most popular games: LoL, Valorant, Warzone, Apex, Halo

 

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kqJRfP

 

I'm mainly a console player looking to switch to PC so this will be my first PC build. I think I'm fairly happy with the build I've selected but definitely want to hear other people's opinions.

 

Because of the shortage I'm probably going to wait a little while to pick up a graphics card, I'll just use integrated graphics for now and will have to stay on console for some of the games.

 

I guess my main questions are about whether 16GB is enough RAM? and is that a good choice for SSD? Could I go down to 500GB or is 1TB pretty standard?

 

Any other suggestions are welcomed, cheers!

1 TB is quite good and 16 Gigabytes of RAM are definetely enough if you are planning to play games on it. Do you plan on doing productivity on it? If so, you could but don't nessecairily have toupgrade to 32 GB

I'd get a 5600G and B550 instead. The iGPU is about twice as good.

 

The SSD is good but like with many Samsungs a bit overpriced. Maybe an SN750 or A2000 is better. I'd get 1tb, 500gb would be nearly full by the time you install Apex and Warzone.

 

16gb is enough for most people, for your use case it will also be enough.

 

The case has no airflow, get something with better airflow or otherwise your components would be hot with loud fans.

looks good for first scratch

maybe can change the ssd. to over kill for gamer.

best choice is a good one around 80-100 bucks (Nvme 1TB), like Sabrent Rocket Q or crucial P5.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions! I've had another go but with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G instead of an Intel CPU. I'd really appreciate some feedback on this build:

Also I'd like a motherboard with integrated Wi-Fi, I noticed the motherboard I selected seems so much cheaper than most alternatives, is there a reason for this? I can't identify where I'm losing out here!

excellent!

i am very like this new

 

just put in the mid end vga card (rx 6700xt / rtx 3060ti) for your last mission, then ready gaming for couple years next 👍

 

some motherboard include wifi has wifi 6 tech inside. so the price higher than non-wifi
