Question Help with the components

[Jorge Vaz]

Hello, Im building a pc and would like to know if the Motherboard and PSU I am looking at are the right choice and if you would recommend me get any other instead in terms of cost benefit also for the motherboard im looking to spend £50-£79 and for the PSU £50-£60 the current components of my build which I already have are: GPU (1660ti) CPU (10400f) RAM (8x2 3600mhz corsair) SSD (256GB) HDD (1TB) I just found out recently that the 10400f has a limiter of 2666mhz but when bought the RAM didnt know about it.

The motherboards I have been looking at are the following:
H510 (link) £69
MSI B460-A Pro £69
MSI MAG B460 Bazooka £72
B560M £74

PSU
Corsair TX550 W 80+ Gold: £52

Im taking components from another pc which already had an SSD with windows installed so in terms of load windows and drives I dont think they would have to do much

New motherboard, you are going to want a fresh install of Windows.

So the original windows I had installed on the other motherboard I had previously will not work and will have to buy a new one ?

Because the situation was the following : had a prebuilt from HP with HP motherboard, Ram and PSU and even case from HP, and when bought the new ram ( 8x2 3600mhz) it said on the site it suports ddr4 but didnt know it had to he from HP, so I placed the new ram set and after the ram didnt work and even the old one stopped workint even tho the pins are alright, and got told that had to get totally new motherboard, psu and case as they would not work in other build as they are HP standard so not even the windows I will be able to use then ?

Assuming win 10 here, make sure it is fully up to date, on your current machine. Register an account with Microsoft, which will allow you to attach your current license, to your account. When you do a fresh install, skip the product key portion. Install Windows, then use your microsoft account to log in, when that portion of the install shows up. You should then be able to active the new hardware, transferring your license to the new pc.

I already bad a microsoft account anyways and yes it was full up to date until the day that hapenned of course ( 2 days ago) to install windows have to do it with a usb pen stick right as installing the one with a watermark and when already on windows activate the one that was on the other machine right ?

Corsair SPEC-DELTA Carbide Series, RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case - Black would this case be alright ?

That case is also not good. Almost no mesh in the front for airflow. What country are you in? I can find you a decent case for a decent price. I will assume the UK.
This is a nice case for cheap if you can fit the CPU cooler, GPU, and PSU. Then there is this case that should be able to fit everything inside, comes with 4x 120mm fans and is mesh in the front.

Thank you and the only thing idk the size is the from the b560 Pro4 but the rest pretty sure will fit as they are small components tbh

You need at least an 8gb USB drive for windows 10. It is rather simple to install windows. That cougar case has nearly 0 airflow because its all glass at the front. Both the mATX board and the PSU would fit in the cougar case. I highly recommend you get that Silverstone case I linked over the cougar case.

I know I might change it after 6 months I really wanted to get that one but my budget was so restricted that only got left with 2 pounds after buying the case cuz did not expect the motherboard to be that expensive :/ and I will not do any overclock and I keep a check on the temperatures so you think thats okay seeing by that perspective ? Also about the drives is it hard to install ? And how do you do it like is it very different from installing windows ?

Temp will likely be fine but performance may suffer depending on what they get to. Drives are very easy to install. If its a sata SSD all you need is a sata data cable from the drive to the motherboard and then a sata power cable from the PSU to the drive. If you are installing windows all you do is prep a USB drive of 8gb or larger with the windows media creation tool and then plug it into the computer with no OS on it yet and turn it on.
