Use the text button at the top of PCpartpicker page, this is very hard to read. Get a better PSU, CX or B2 perhaps. I would also add an SSD and a larger HDD, 500Gb isnt much.

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

More information would be nice. What parts do you own already? How much are you looking to spend excluding the parts you already have? You didn't include this in your original post so I had no idea what to do.

I know my bad, my apologies. I have the cpu, ram, motherboard, cpu cooler and hdd. I still need my gpu, my case, my psu, monitor and my own hdd as im borrowing the wd green (total excluding the parts i have is around 310 pound because i changed my psu to a cx450m)

GTX 1050Ti performs about 30-40% better than the RX460. It's an upgrade worth the extra ~30 pounds. 

The Samsung monitor has identical specs to the monitor you chose (response time is actullly lower, too) is by a much more reputable company, and is quite a bit cheaper. 

 

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you didn't include a hard drive in the 310 pounds? I don't believe an RX 460 + the monitor you chose would be cheap enough to fit in a hard drive in the 310 pound range.

That monitor is perfect. Thank you
