Hi, I am going to replace existing parts on a 4-year-old case (Hasn't been used in ages due to a fried motherboard. My budget is GB£350 exVAT. for parts

 

What I require (Yes I have looked at uk.pcpartpicker.com)

  • 4 Core processer 3.2GHz+ (Overclock warranty support) - Must come with a processor cooler
  • 4GB+ Graphics card
  • 8 or 16GB RAM
  • ATX Motherboard 
  • (OS is sorted as I can get a Windows 10 Pro 64bit OEM copy for GB£19.99)
  • M.2 SSD drive 128GB (OS Drive)
  • 2TB Hard drive
  • 27" (minimum 24")1440p monitor with 1-4ms refresh rate for gaming.

Thanks!

TrainNutter

Do what @Canada EH suggested, though you'll be better off trying to find that locally as importing it is going to raise prices quite a bit.

Honestly though I think you're going to have to greatly tone down your expectations. You're asking way too much from your budget.

Ryzen 5 APU, fast 8GB of RAM, 1TB hdd

Save for a GPU and SSD and maybe more ram.

@dizmo is right with such a tight budget it's kinda unrealistic to get what you're requiring.

If you don't need a PSU:

If you need a PSU, tread lightly with an MSI board and A320 chipset...

not really, the S/M12s and seasonic eco are old as dirt and has missing protections, lots of newer units are better.
