I mean it's a little tough with this low of a budget. But these would work.

Not too sure on the case it's just the best looking deal for the price because it comes with all the fans already so you wont need to buy any extra. 

I've used these TeamGroup drives a lot and they're super solid.

Hardest one to find the best deal on is PSU, I mean if you want to stay within budget you're looking at some cheaper units.

Budget (including currency): £750 Pounds Sterling

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: non specific gaming (mostly Elite Dangerous, Total War series, strategy, rpg titles etc)

Other details


I'm just about to start a new budget build (around £ 750 sterling) and have researched most of the main parts I'm gonna be using. I'm going with an Rx 6600 xt, a Ryzen 5 5600X, Corsair vengeance DDR4 16gb (2x8) . These 3 items will cost me around £ 450 (with a bit of thrifty searching) . This leaves me with the motherboard, SSD, PSU, Cooling fans, and a case . . . for £ 200 . . . Yikes! 😮

 

I could probably have some wiggle room on my budget . . . (food isn't that important for a month or so, right 😉 )

 

Any and all recomendations into which compatable parts i should be going for at as low a price as possible whilst retaining solid performance would be greatly appreciated. Particlraly the motherboard... I always seem to stumble when it comes ro choosing a motherboard. The only stipulation i have is that it preferably has an M.2 slot for the SSD.

 

Kind regard and much thanks in advance 🙂
