Budget: 750 GBP

I am using it for: Fortnite, GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, Minecraft Dungeons and Unity.

Is this build suitable for what I am aiming to run on it? I don't plan on upgrading it for a few years, so is it future-proof enough that I won't be forced to upgrade? This is my first pc build, so any help would be appreciated. I am getting the CPU, GPU and monitor from CEX, a second hand tech website. Here's a link: https://uk.webuy.com.

This is a good list but I would change out that Kolink 500w with a MSI A650BN, bit more power and 2 year longer warranty on the MSI unit 🙂 

3 vs 5 year warranty.

What is future proof? Because if you could be fine with 16GB RAM, you could get 16GB RAM on 2 sticks, and if you ever need 32GB you just buy another (same) 2 sticks of 16 for 4x8-32GB.

 

And motherboard, could be bit cheaper perhaps, unless there's some feature the ASUS has.

 

There's several sub 100 pound motherboards that can take 5700x3D, they will only pop warning on pcpartpicker because from factory they don't ship with BIOS that supports 5600(x)

 

And that sometimes doesn't mean it will have outdated BIOS, or that there's nothing that can be done about it, the only issue is when the motherboard has outdated BIOS and no flashback option, then you'd need older gen CPU to get to BIOS and update it.
