How is this build?

[parakat]

Have been putting together a budget gaming PC that has potential for a lot of upgradability. Will only be playing e-sport games so high performance isn't that important to me just want an upgrade from my 6 year old mac. I was wondering if someone could please check through my build and double check for me that the parts are compatible and if there are any recomendations on if I should change any part of my build. I am from the UK and trying to get a pc and monitor setup for around £600-£700.

Many thanks

I personally would go with Ryzen over the Pentium. I would say something like this: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/CF6wWX. Obviously, you can choose the case you'd like, and you can find Windows 10 on various websites for $30 or $40

I agree here 

 

but the pcpartpicker is a little messed up. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/FpvMsJ this better do.  Spending the £30 on a 27" monitor is worth it. Trust me

I would go as far as to say that the 4GB 1050Ti is a better value than the 3GB 1060... I wouldn't even recommend the 3GB 1060 to anyone

I would, but if AMD cards were available I would recommend the RX 570 over the GTX 1060 3GB

 

 

card shortages
