[SOLVED] £1000 for upgrade parts

[micke1987]

stressing out trying to find a good build for my budget. budget is £1000 but could go up to £1100 for the right parts

ive already got psu, ssd's and hdd, case and 1440p monitor. so just need mobo, cpu, ram and gpu

ill just be using it for 1440p gaming and daily tasks (<ModEdit>unnecessary detail. )

heres the list of parts i got already

Ok, you might want to remove reference to dollars or Euros. If you're buying in the UK, the only pricing that matters is GBP.

You also need to post the BBcode link. What you've shared will just take us to our own lists on PCPP.




Do you currently own the components you listed?

You mention an upgrade.... what do you have already? What mid tower do you have that the DRP3 doesn't fit in?

The CX600 isn't a great PSU, so whether you have it or not, I'd look to replace it.

already own the parts.

might be a midi tower i got, either way drp3 doesnt fit in, few milimeters off cant close the side

is it worth taking £60-70 out of my budget to upgrade power supply? i know nothing about psu's

Without knowing which case yuo have, other than the fact the DRP3 doesn't fit in it... is going to make recommendations difficult.

As for the budget, yes.... some of that budget should certainly be attributed to a replacement PSU.

For strictly gaming (and assuming you're interested in overclocking), I'd look to something like this:

+a cooler, which will depend on the case re: compatibility.

An AMD option is probably worth considering too.
The 6c/12t nature would be beneficial for gaming+streaming etc, taking a ~10% gaming performance hit (generally speaking) vs a comparable Intel offering. BUT, you could have a substantially stronger GPU and still be roughly within budget.

The 650W SeaSonic unit is arguably a little overkill, but a quality PSU will set you back ~65quid minimum in the UK (TX550M

The 650W unit from SeaSonic would last you through numerous builds. You shouldn't have to look for a new PSU again for a decade.
