Budget (including currency): £300

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite, Valorant, CSGO, MWII, Rocket League, VR maybe??

Other details : 1080p Gaming

 

Part List : 

 

Not Owned:

CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 5500 - £87.50
MOBO : Gigabyte B450M K - £51.97
RAM : Corsair 178300 Vengeance LPX 16 GB  - £29.99
CASE + FANS : DeepCool CC360 ARGB - £49.99
GPU : SAPPHIRE Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 - £70.00


Already Owned : 

SSD : Crucial BX500 480GB - £0.00
HDD : Segate 1TB - £0.00
PSU : Corsair VS650 - £0.00

TOTAL : £289.45

 

Is there anything you would change with this built, or add if I'm missing anything. Idk what CPU cooler I should use because the Ryzen should come with the AMD Stock Cooler I assume which I could use, but I don't know what cooler I should get that's not too pricey but good quality. I also don't need fans for now because 3 fans come with the DeepCool case. I will probably upgrade to a NVME later on because the board I made sure had support for NVME, DDR4 and and AM4 Socket.

The stock cooler that comes with the 5500 will be more than enough, buying a cooler for this build would be a waste.


While this build is fine (or meh), I think you really should be looking on the used market. I suggest getting a used office PC (with a non propriatory motherboard and psu) and put a used GPU in it. You'll get far better bang for your buck.

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need. Expand this signature for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components.

 

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

He/Him - I'm a PhD student working in the fields of reinforcement learning and traffic control. PCs are one of my hobbies and I've built many PCs and performed upgrades on a few laptops (for myself, friends and family). My personal computers include 4 windows (10/11) machines and a TrueNAS server (and I'm looking to move to dual booting Linux Mint on my main machine in future). Aside from computers, I also dabble in modding/homebrew retro consoles, support Southampton FC, and enjoy Scuba Diving and Skiing.

Fun Facts

1) When I was 3 years old my favourite toy was a scientific calculator. 2) My father is a British Champion ploughman in the Vintage Hydraulic Class. 3) On Speedrun.com, I'm the world record holder for the Dream Bobsleigh event on Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games 2010.

you can, in fact for downdraft cooler it's good since it will also cool the cheap VRMs on the Motherboard

stock is fine, Ryzen doesn't really care if it's running little warmer, you can buy a cooler later if you don't like the temps

Don't worry about storage, it only affects loading speeds really..

CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 5500 - £87.50

Used 5600(x) for 70-90£ instead which will perform alot better due to double the cache and you wont have to tune the rams to 4600 for optimal performance

MOBO : Gigabyte B450M K - £51.97

Pretty crappy board, used market should have some midranger b3/450 like the pro4/steel legend, gaming plus/tomahawk, etc. Also for ~50£ if not less (i have found ppl selling b3/450 prime for like 30£ before when looking around uk fb marketplace) Thatll be far superior to that lowend vrmless i/oless b450 board

CASE + FANS : DeepCool CC360 ARGB - £49.99

Buy a used case if not a free one from someone throwing cases away as this can be put to the gpu and instead of a used rx 580/590 8gb for 70£ you can get a used 5700(xt) for ~120£ which should perform better than a gtx 1080 unlike the 580/590 thatll only perform similarly to a gtx 1060

 

This is the single biggest waste of money in this parts list

PSU : Corsair VS650 - £0.00

Btw do you have any other existing parts? Maybe from an old pc or something as other stuff like the case and maybe even the cooler can be reused
