I'm building my first PC and need to know what parts I need, what parts aren't compatible and if I could get a part instead. I don't know much about building a PC so keep it simple pls. The parts are:
Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB GDDR5 RAM PCI Expess 256 bit Graphics Card - £229.99

Corsair CP-9020097-UK VS550 ATX/EPS Vs Series 80 Plus Power Supply Unit - £41.76

I also have a 12gb hard drive but I don't know if I'll keep it or sell it with the rest of my old PC
Thanks for the help
Ps also if you know a place where someone will build the pc for me cus I don't trust myself with that much money
 
Solution


No I don't have any of these parts, don't want the budget to be too high, around £700 is my budget

That motherboard is for overclocking and the 6500 is a locked chip. Its a waste of money. Also that psu is very mediocre.
 


Thanks but I want the rx480 and the case, if you could fit those in that would be great

 


The Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB is a slightly faster card than the RX480. It performs much better in most gaming benchmarks.
 
Solution


From what I can tell the 480 looks better for what I want (battlefield 1) plus my current PC uses an Amd so it would be more familiar to me

 


Ill go for the 480, thanks
So are all the listed compatible with the 480? (not my list the suggested one)
 


Thanks you've been a great help
