UK £1600 budget

[Signman]

Budget (including currency): £1600

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, I tend to have about 30 firefox tabs active active due to work and a little use of coreldraw software but gaming should cover the corel requirements

Other details: Function over form. Dark case with no rgb would be ideal. I dont need any screens as I currently have two connected, ideally 12 or more usb ports but can use a hub in needed. I don't upgrade the system as I pass it on to my daughter when ready to upgrade. 1TB ssd should be all I need for storage if I can get a spare ssd slot

 

[Why_Me]

This gives you 48GB of RAM for all those open tabs. The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for a rear exhaust fan.

As long as Newegg International isnt the sole supplier, you can use region switcher on PCPartPicker and give local recommendation.

This is perfect thanks im going to order this setup. One thing I did miss is I would like a case that has a tempered glass side panel (so I know when it needs a clean :P) with no rgb. Any you would recommend that will fit this setup as I dont know how to search with no rgb. Thanks so much for your help. I have an extra £100 available in the budget. Is there anywhere you would recommend spending that or is this pretty much the best balanced around that cost?

For cases there are like few really good ones like the 4000D form corsair and the H5 form NZXT and the North form Fractal Design but apart from that wich will be expensive i'd recomend u looking some reviews to fin ur perfect match. About that 100 extra bucks, maybe getting a better (not higher wattage but more reliable and higher efficiency) PSU? or getting a mobo with 2.5G Ethernet? Buying a expensier but nicer looking case? Upgrading peripherics?

Switch out the case in that build with this one ... same case in that build but with glass side panel.

Fractal Design Focus 2 ATX Mid Tower Case £64.98

Sounds like the case for you.

4 Pro at the back as exhaust so now you have 2 intakes at front with 2 included fans.

Motherboard with as many USB ports as I can find. Ones with more would would really inflate your price, to the point where a mere USB dock, even a £100 powered one would be cheaper.

For some reason motherboard price isn't listing so I put it in manually.

Still don't know exactly what sort of games you plan to play, if it's something casual the 7700XT should be enough:
