$400 PC

[Windows 11 Sucks]

Budget (including currency): £400 GBP

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Roblox, Fortnite, and a few other realistic simulator games. 

I need a check please it's mainly for Fortnite and Roblox with a 1080p 144hz monitor.

Case, GPU and motherboard are all being bought used/cheap options that PCpartpicker doesn't have that's why price is adjusted/i have made custom parts

I can buy an old AM4 CPU to update the bios if necessary but ideally just by a motherboard with bios that will support my CPU so that's fine.

i wanted to start a new thread because i missed a few key details in the last one (like the mobo and case being placeholders) and people would read it and assume it was sorted. your opinion is relevant and i have now updated the pcpartpicker to make it more accurate. thank you for your help

the 3600 is the same as the 4500 but more expensive

Looks good.  You can quibble about a few pounds here or there, but for used things I'm not going to shop your area for you.

 

So yeah, good concepts and should play fine.

idk where you heard that from but that's not true 

 

The 3600 also has more cache which is good for gaming performance

Look for a used 3600(x) as they should be around 50-60£ or a used 5600(x) which can go as low as ~80£, 4500 is trash because it has no cache, even if you run the ideal 1:1 fclk of 4400-4600 for zen2 apus still wouldnt mitigate the quartered cache

 

Also buying a new lowend psu is just stupid, look for a used 750/850w gold like the rm(x) or equivalent, lowend new psus are not futureproof and their warranties are generally useless <10 year warranties (all psus generally last 10-15 years) which is literally the only advantage new has over used units at half or 1/3rd of the price

 

 

For the other used parts

Used midrange b3/450 can be found for around 50£ like the gaming plus/tomahawk, pro4, aorus elite, etc.

 

Look for a used 5700(xt) or 6600 as you may be able to find one for cheap and haggle down abit, if not you can settle for a used 1070/1080

 

You can dumpster dive cases for free or buy used ones but problably a good idea to keep it to a minimum when spending on a case since it doesnt contribute to performance
