PC Build Under £500

[Saturn2]

Hi Guys,

 

I want to build a PC with a budget of £500. I've put together a build in PC Part Picker and would appreciate it if you could take a look and provide feedback. I mostly play League of Legends, Warzone, Battlefield 1, and Path of Exile.

The build is not bad for the money, but you will get way better value buying used

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Is there anything you think I should change which could improve the performance without spending more money?

It's not bad, but certainly not the best price/performance machine. Consider a used pre-build instead. I found this company (UK-based) that may have a suitable deal for you. However, I've never done business with them, so YMMV!

Alternatively, do a "Linus" and get an old Dell/HP/Lenovo workstation (Intel 10th gen or up) for cheap, then put in a decent GPU and SSD and you're off to the races

You could buy a used 5600, a used and cheaper motherboard and a used gpu, like the 6600xt

overbudget but all is new except the GPU, you can ditch the thermalright CPU cooler as the 5600 comes with one (and although it's not great, it gets the job done)
