Help with PC Parts (First ever build)

[EliteGhostKillz]

My PC broke around a year ago and i never got around to fixing it, but now that i need/want a pc and prices are decent i decided to try and build one

Here are the parts ive picked

Ryzen 5 2600

Asus ROG Strix B450-F gaming ATX

Corsair vengeance LED (2×8GB) 3000Mhz

Corsair CXM 750W 80+ Bronze certified Semi modular ATX

I plan to use it for gaming and work and would like it too last for a long time

I have a case, hardrive and GPU already

My budget is £500 and after everything was calculated this came to range from £495-£510

Is this good price to performance and are there any changes yall would recommend

(Im im the UK btw, so prices may differ and stock for components may be limited)

2600 doest have iGPU. So you will need a dedicated GPU.
Now you can go two ways about it. Get the 2600 with a basic GPU. Or get the 2400g with or without a GPU. Personally, i think if you get the 2600 now, you will have a solid base to get a better GPU later on...

^ he has case, hdd and gpu.

OP, if you don't have an ssd, you might want one now. Go for a less expensive mobo and get the ssd.
Alternate choice : the StoreMI in 400 series chipset allows you to Fuze a hdd volume with upto 2gb of system ram for a hybrid drive kinda faster storage.

One more thing : the included stock cooler is not so beefy. If you want to oc to 4.2ghz, the 2600X with a cooler like the cryorig h5 or Scythe Mugen 5 is the best bet. On the other hand, the stock boost clocks of 2600 is perfectly fine for 1080p 60fps gaming.

Right, and somehow I missed that part...

The build is fine in that case. Just see if you have enough money left for a better quality PSU.

Thanks for the help guys, im hopefully going too look about a bit more and see if i can save a bit more money to get a few extra things/change a few things.

Some changes i was gonna make

Getting a new GPU
Getting a better PSU
And maybe getting a SSD

I dont plan to heavily overclock (one reason i chose the 2600 instead of the 2600x aside from price) so i think the stock cooler should be fine

 

[Hellfire13]

Sounds good. Keep us posted...cheers

One thing i wanted to ask, how bad of a problem is static electricity when building a pc?

Cuz id rather be properly equipped to deal with static electricity, than think it a small problem and pontentially destroy components

Make sure you do not have any conductive material around while building it. Here is a nice article... https://www.howtogeek.com/169994/how-to-protect-your-pcs-hardware-from-static-electricity-when-working-on-it/

Thanks, im guessing i should be fine on a laminate floor, also would a CX550M be a good psu to use in junction with these components.

Not the best, but for that budget its the best you can accommodate.
