Budget (including currency): £1500

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly Gaming Elden Ring, Risk of Rain, Last of Us, Apex Legends, Hell let Loose

Other details: Brand new PC Build

Looks solid overall, only thing I might've done is gone for 2TB SSD and picked a more "budget" one and maybe a cheaper mb if you need to save on the budget

Thanks @Catzzye will definitely consider that option. Any you'd recommend specifically?

Ohh np, it really depends on what deals your local vendors are having. Not sure if you meant your SSD or mb, but for SSD there's great value options from Kingston Crucial and such while still being pretty good. As for mb I usually get the cheapest ones that ticks all my boxes (supports my CPU, 4 RAM slots, at least 4 SATA, bluetooth/wifi are a luxury can be easily DIY-ed).

If you have any specific models in mind feel free to poke

Hello... I was looking over your list and I noticed some things that needed changing. Your RAM Speeds were off. You don't want 6000Mhz CL40, it should be 6000Mhz CL30. I just don't want to see your new PC lag or be sluggish at all. Also I updated the CPU Cooler, 2TB M.2, GPU (Same RX 7800 XT but a 3 Fan Card), and the PSU. You had the Corsair RM850x, this is an older model and the new one is the RM850e. It is ATX 3.0/PCIe 5.0 Ready and much more efficient. Please let me know what you think.

 

I have been building PCs for over 30 years so if you have any questions please ask. For future communication I use Discord for much faster response times as I have it open 24/7. Here is my Discord: Wizardsnapper#2772 I am also available if you need help before, during, or after the Build process on Discord through Voice or Video Chat. I can be with you while you build your new PC if you need me to be.

750W is fine for this build. You want low latency RAM as in CL30.

@Why_Me @PC HEROES

 

Thank you both for your recommendations. Here is the revisited part list, only two things I'm worried about is dropping the power supply below 850 W as I feel like this gives me room to potentially upgrade CPU to a 8000 series further down the line and if it's worth spending more on the CPU to go to 8 cores with either the 7700x or 7800x3d. 

 

Fairly happy with everything and particularly like the ADATA RGB Memory. Thanks for the pointer on the CL40 ram, I guess bigger number isn't always better...


What's the 'best' option for wifi, would a wifi card be compatible with my motherboard/case?

Hello... Everything here looks good except the M.2 Drive. That ADATA Model is very slow for a Gen4 Drive so please get this one instead. The ADATA LEGEND 800 is a Gen4 Drive but it only runs at Gen3 Speeds, look below for the difference.

 

XPG ADATA GAMMIX S70 BLADE 2TB PCIe Gen4 £122.88

 

XPG ADATA GAMMIX S70 BLADE:  Read / write speeds up to 7,400 / 6,400 MB/s Ultra-fast PCIe Gen4

 

ADATA 2TB SSD Legend 800: Delivers Read and Write Speeds up to  3,500 / 2,800MB/s

Hello, thanks again everyone. I've ended up going with this as think its a good balance on CPU/GPU performance without sacrificing elsewhere and also gives room to upgrade CPU down the line to a newer AM5 model.

 

I did look at alternative Graphics card but ended up going with the Reference Card as I really liked the look of it (even if it will run a bit hotter) but my case does have decent airflow so hopefully won't regret this. Just awaiting the Case, RAM and SSD now.

 

Is there anything I should be aware of or any general advice for the PC Build?
