So im planning to build a pc for the first time + monitor with it being around £500 +/-50 so i don't really know if all the things ive picked would work together. so i would appreciate it if you guys would check to see if they all work together and there isnt anything missing. Also new parts suggestions that fit the budget would be cool.

 

Parts -

Yes it does include a stock fan and pre applied thermal compound.

If you go with that build for your first budget machine, I would say well rounded. I might have tried to get a SSD in as well. Only running a HDD will drag the overall performance down a lot. 

 

The CPU , if boxed, usually comes with a heatsink. Those also have thermal paste already applied to them. Due to the cpu being on a low TDP the ~270g of the box may include a indel boxed fan, which will be enough for the beginning, but can get noisy. 

 

Your display will be connected from the GF 1050 via HDMI, no other cable to connect that machine to the display needed.

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

@Stickurr [⚕]if you have the dedicated gpu you plug your monitor into the CPU not your mobo, I think the 1050 has a hdmi plug(I'm going to research that)

Use UK PCpartPicker.

 

In the current market I would recommend a R5 2400G system over this.

Remain calm, he said he needed an adapter to plug his monitor into his mobo so I supposed he didn't know that...

Get a better PSU such as corsair CXM grey sticker and consider going the 2400G or 2200G route considering how bad GPU prices are rn.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
