New <900GBP Gaming Pc

[Merppp]

Is this PC good. If you can find any improvements without changing the current price by more than 10gbp up then make changes. I am going to use it to game at 1080p medium to high settings and record and edit some simple videos and graphics. And in 2years i will upgrade to a 550GBP GPU. Hopefully it is good and you can make some good changes. Also do you think i should go for a R5 1400X and add onto other parts? Also do you think it is more ideal to use a ethernet, I dont enjoy using ethernets as it adds to more cables on the outside and the cable comes out and is generally weak, but please give opinions. Do not exceed 860GBP please and DO NOT change to 8GB RAM, there is no convincing me on that one

I chose that ram as i can overclock it and cheaper mobos have been known to no work as well with 3000mHz, and i really want that ssd as it is really good for desktop use. If i went for a cheaper SSD, what is there which is 250gb ish ???

I am still gonna get 8GB RAM. And why?

Upgrading RAM is the easiest thing you can do in your PC

Just slot another RAM in and done

Why spend almost double the price for something that improves almost no performance??

It's not like you have a huge budget at all, I get it if you have 2000 GPB then 16 would be something to look for

 

Upgraded to an RX 580

IPS monitor costs the same and has better color

Better price/storage drive that offers good performance.

Ethernet offers much more reliable connection vs WiFi, if Ethernet already shit then your WiFi would propably even worse

CPU: Downgraded from 1500x to 1400: You either get 1400 or 1600. 1500x shouldn't even exist when overclocking is possible.

Mobo: The two are mostly the same other than number of RAM slots, but the one I use is cheaper

RAM: faster. cheaper, same capacity. The only thing is that it doesn't leave room for further upgrades, but it's not needed for games.

SSD: smaller, slower, cheaper. As a boot drive, they perform similarly (even though it is slower). However, the one I picked doesn't allow installing large apps into it.

HDD: 75% the capacity, 50% the price. You don't argue with money. 750GB is still plenty anyway. Adding another one in is also cheap to do.

GPU: Similar, but cheaper. Maybe shipping cost makes it more expensive to you Idk.

Wireless: This one is fast and supports both WiFi and Bluetooth, if you just so happens to need it.

Monitor: 1080p 144Hz TN. This monitor isn't that large so it shouldn't look much worse than IPS in pictures. With 144Hz it will beat 60Hz IPS easily.
