Question £500 Custom PC Review

[YaropT]

Hi Guys,

I want to build a PC with a budget of £500. I've put together a build in PC Part Picker and would appreciate it if you could take a look and provide feedback. I mostly play League of Legends, Warzone, Battlefield 1, and Path of Exile.

And one more thing would 500W be sufficient for this build or would I have to upsize it to 600W

No price on the PSU, so pretty much overbudget?

What are you doing for a chassis and storage?

You don't really need to go beyond the stock cooler with a 5600. More of a nice to have.

500W is enough, but I don't really trust the EVGA BR 500W. PSU is not a place to go budget on.

If you are buying DDR4, might as well get 2x16GB. RGB happens to be the cheapest 3600 kit at the moment.

The PSU I selected in PC Part Picker is the one I currently have. I was considering reusing it for this build instead of buying a new one.

Do you think I should sell my current PSU and buy a 650W one instead?

Thanks for letting me know about the RAM and the cooler.
