First PC build (revised)

[beanso]

Budget: around £500

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming + schooling

 

Would appreciate recommendations and help on how to improve it. I'm going to get a 1660 ti when I have saved up a bit more which is why i chose the 5600g and not the x as I have picked no graphics card.

 

Parts I picked which come to around £515:

 

 

Processor+Cooler

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G Processor w/CPU cooler.(£200)

I would suggest spending 20 pounds more on a higher wattage 80 plus gold power supply, would give a much greater upgrade path for a powerful gpu down the road, especially with a good cpu as 5600g you can use it seemlessly with atleast 2 new generation of gpus.

Thanks, how many watts do you recommend

750w gold power supply should be the sweet spot for future proofing and not over spending.
