It all works together although I'm not a fan of the 3050. I would look at a used RTX 3060 on ebay.

full specs of your current pc? there might be some reusable hardware

 

for 600£ id be expecting a 5600(x) or a 5700x/5800x and a 6800xt with a combination of new and used parts so this is really weak for 600£

 

everything but the ram is a complete waste of money

 

 

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/csMtdH

reference list since youll be buyibg a decent chunk of the parts used

 

used 5600(x) are 70-90£ and carry no risk since cpus dont up and die on you, just have to check for physical damage, theres also used 5700x/5800x around the 120-150£ mark

 

used midranger b3/450 like the gaming plus/tomahawk are around the 30-50£ mark, just need to check for bios updates and make sure its working normally

 

used 6800xt for ~300£, if you prefer nvidia used 3080 should also be around this price, just have to watch out for scams so avoid any listings that look too good to be true, prefer ones with longer/detailed descriptions

 

used rm850x or equivalent psu for 40-60£, basically no risk here as long as you are buying a unit thats <7yo and yes this is speaking from personal experience buying 3 <15£ psus that are much lesser known and only using the 12v rail as an indicator for quality, all work flawlessly to this day even if one is a lower quality 450w thats now 13yo (bought 4 years ago)

 

look for a used case something <10£ as its a hunk of metal and plastic/glass that doesnt contribute to performance or anything aside from looks, might even be able to get one free if someones throwing one away
