750£ Dev Build

[Gachr]

Hi, I'm building a development PC for myself - I'm a web developer. Just wanted a small but very powerful development machine for around 750 quid plus keyboard and monitor. I think I'm settled for this build, but any tips or recommendations are more than welcome

BTW, I'll be buying a much better monitor and RAM in the future, along with a CPU cooler perhaps.

What is your budget, location, and do you need a dedicated GPU?

Mate, the budget is in the title and in the post - 750 quid. It's GBP, so the location is obvious.

I don't need a GPU, like I said in the post, it's a (web) development machine.

That could work?

Or just change the Samsung to the SX6000 in your build. The difference shouldn't be noticeable.

Looks fine though I'd get a better keyboard like this one

Funny thing, I had a mechanical keyboard, and still the K120 is my favourite I might get a really good one in the future, but I'm on a tight budget.

U might take a look at the ryzen 1000 or 2000 series. Got way more cores en treahds for its price. Idk if developement needs more cores tho but if it does get ryzen. Altho u dont have anintergrated graphics than

Yeah, I'm only playing indie games, so getting a dedicated GPU would be a waste of money. Web development tools perform WAY better on Intel than on AMD, so it's the only sane choice for developers. When compiling one project of mne, the performance was significantly worse on a Ryzen 1600 than on an old Haswell i5.
