Hello so I am building my first gaming pc: my budget is around £700 and I want to playing games like witcher 3 and total war on high settings,

I have a 1920x1080 monitor at the moment. Is there any changed or advice you would give for the build I have put together below

Thanks :)

Slightly more, but IMO a better build. Gave you faster dual channel RAM which is a big must for Ryzen, swapped to a GTX 1660 Super which is a better card and gave you a 550 watt PSU. You might be able to get away with 450 but its tight>
