Thoughts on this PC

[TB4211]

I'm going to be building a PC very soon to be doing some light gaming such as CSGO and Fortnite, i'm just here wondering if there is any potential improvements I could make to the system with a budget of around £500-550. If possible I'd also like ways to save money where possible but also ways to improve it(they don't have to fit into both categories).

Thanks

Looks very solid overall for the budget. Nothing stands out as a glaring issue or anything.

Don't get that wifi card. I've got it and it's terrible. It only works with 2.4ghz. get something better.

I would say get like a 650watts psu so you don't have to spend full price on another power supply, as the 2400g doesn't have the best graphic processor so you might add a graphics card later on.

I've got it in my current PC and it seems to work fine for me, is there anything better in the price range of that one?

Yes I wanted to point that out, or just get a ethernet cable if you can.

No need, 550W is more then enough.

What are the speeds you're paying for?

550 watts will supply a 1080 with enough power and still have headroom so a 650 watt would be overkill for the most part.

Adding a GPU was my plan when I started planning it as i need to stay in budget right now and will add one in the future

I mean a 650 would only be a few more bucks. better be safe than sorry

We're paying for up to 38 mb/s but rarely get above 25

Then you dont have to honestly bother about getting a better wifi card.

whatever wifi adapter youre using will not matter at all, the idea of "premium" usb adapters is a meme

pic related is using one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/600Mbps-Wireless-USB-WiFi-Adapter-Dongle-Network-LAN-Card-802-11b-g-n-w-Antenna/261543655727?hash=item3ce537792f:g:AdoAAOSwoKFbD509

If you're happy with it. Keep it.

OP has set budget.. £550. You don't need high wattage. GPUs are becoming more efficient. Using less power.

Good build, but I would lose the case. I have one of those and it's airflow is, eh.

Good first build, that's a  solid selection for a first timer so give yourself a pat on the back.

Cheers for that I’ve been hoping to build a PC for a long time now so I’m quite excited now

Is there any other similar looking cases for that sort of price with the RGB fans in the front that you can recommend?

[HolaImBob]

scan has some deals on cases and power supplies. if you go scroll about halfway down the page you will see them.
