backstory/why/purpose

i have been studying game design and computer sians for a few years now. i have bilet computers in class and work in are pc repair shop at mycolog. dew to this i thought i whud be prepared to take on  my first system bile but jesus christ is this harder than i thought. i gave myself an £800 give or take and have spent the last week or to on pc part picker and over sites comparing and trying to work out what's best for me as i need the right to priority play games but also be able to hdel some lite to moderat game production (this includes most stages of production minus audio production i have a micen capable of that at my band's studio.) after all this time i have come up with this list

what i need from you lovely people.

first of all give me your opinion on what i have so far and what i can improve/ downgrade if it is overkill.

i have only left myself for enuf money for a budget case i what to know what exactly should i really be looking out for in a case and what do you recomend. ascetics wise i don't what enny glass/acrylic side panels or windows or rgb if it can be helped.

last i will obviously need to cool this build so what are some good airflow fans but can also double as reasonable static airflow fans if needed but this is secondary to its cfm.

I would drop down to a Ryzen 1600 and push for 16Gb of RAM. You're not gonna get very far with VR on just 8Gb.

£800 exactly

 

PCPartPicker part list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/M9mK29
Price breakdown by merchant: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/M9mK29/by_merchant/

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor  (£131.94 @ Aria PC) - The 1600 and 1700 perform about the same in gaming/VR so no point spending the extra
Motherboard: Asus - STRIX B350-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard  (£95.20 @ Aria PC) - Best B350 motherboard
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory  (£136.80 @ Aria PC) - You really do need 16GB of RAM for intensive workloads like VR and I was just able to squeeze it in
Storage: Crucial - MX500 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  (£52.74 @ Aria PC) - Got a good 250GB SSD in here, this'll last a good while in terms of space and be much faster than the shitty A400
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  (£51.59 @ Aria PC) - good choice
Video Card: XFX - Radeon RX 580 8GB GTS Black Core Edition Video Card  (£232.10 @ Amazon UK) - RX 580 slightly outperforms the GTX 1060 and a good cooler allows for better overclocking
Case: Phanteks - Eclipse P300 Tempered Glass (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case  (£47.94 @ Aria PC) - Best budget case
Power Supply: Cooler Master - MasterWatt 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  (£52.23 @ Amazon UK) - Dropped down a tier of PSU but it's still a good unit that'll provide enough watts and fine overclocking
Total: £800.54
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

done

Ryzen does better with dual channel memory, i.e. two sticks. It also does better with higher speed memory.

 

A larger ssd would be good.

 

There is usually no need to buy thermal compound. CPU coolers come with compound.
