Brand new PC

[Hamborgor]

Budget (including currency): 800-1000 GBP

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: VR, Minecraft, Fallout 76/4, Rust, games like those.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Im currently saving up to buy a pc with my own money, currently at 300, saving up for more. Currently have a 1650 paired with a i3-10100 with 16 GB of ram. I only have 1080p, 75Hz monitors. I found the NZXT H6 flow to be a very nice case if that helps, everything else I have no idea.

How long until you save up 800-1000?  Things may change then, so it's always best to ask within a week or two of buying.

MSI MAG AB-N is a pretty outdated PSU for a new system. Why not an ATX3.0 unit?

Best that I could fit in budget with a 7800 xt and am5. It’ll still be sufficient for a 7800 xt

A cheap PSU is expensive! Don't save on the PSU. If a decent ATX3.0 Gold unit doesn't fit the budget you have to save at something else, not on the PSU.

It’s decent enough, tier C is fine. ATX 3.0 isn’t necessary. If they can raise their budget a bit then they can get something like this https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/zF4Zxr/msi-mag-a850gl-pcie5-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-mag-a850gl-pcie5

why would he need a better one? its a low power draw cpu, and a mid range graphics card, im wondering what you think is going to happen? a 650w could run a 7800x3d with this gpu, its fine

[Hamborgor]

Thank you all for all the help, just to answer a few questions

At my current rate of getting money, hopefully by atleast August/September, things may fluctuate etc. now that i've wrote that down, that is quite a ways away, like 3-4 months but i just wanted to get a rough idea. its not like i'm going to be able to go for a next gen item anyway.

 

I also want to thank you all for actually making me think about Radeon cards, I guess Nvidia isn't that good, at this price range anyway. This has been really helpful, as others say to just buy it part by part, like swap out the GPU first, then motherboard and CPU next, then ram, then PSU, then case, etc etc.

[BentleyOwen123]

honestly you could grab a used 11700k, add 32gb of 3600mhz ram, and buy a used 3080, while staying WAY under budget, just reuse your motherboard case(unless you really want a h6 flow) and psu(what wattage is it?), maybe get a new nvme boot drive but up to you,  oh and add a PA120SE

I'd go for the build I linked above

[Hamborgor]

Sorry for the late response, Its a 500W PSU. I also dont think my motherboard has a nvme slot in in, its a H410M PRO. I do def want to get a NVME. Also is water cooling like not allat?

Water cooling is really not needed 

get one of the builds above, they’re all good
