Cost of this rig (not your budget)? Also, "good" for what?

The PSU is not Corsair's best offering. Who is building this system?

 

[Chilaxman]

Oh ok is there a list of specs you could give me that come in the budget of under £1000 please and thank you

That reads like a prebuilt not one your building.

The single stick of memory is a mistake and a very low end power supply for using a video card.
About the cheapest motherboard you can buy and nothing near enough storage for a gaming PC.

yeah, the only time i've seen that case is "PC Specialist" pre-builts.
have run into many of their customers complaining about subpar components and terrible customer service.

can you guys tell me if this is good or bad?

the case doesn't have the best airflow so you would want to add a few higher CFM fans.
plus a better CPU cooler than whatever "STANDARD CPU COOLER" probably means.
as previously stated;
a better power supply, motherboard, and a better memory option.
and if they're charging more than ~$5 for the static blue LED strip, let them keep it.

I have a budget of under £1000 and am trying to build a pc that is very good for gaming and studying. Can someone give me good specs please as I’m not the best with the components. Thanks

Best to go to a local computer store and talk to somebody.

Good at gaming don't tell us ANYTHING.

The question should be I want to play Game ABC at XXX FPS, on what res?

Don’t have a local computer store and I’m looking to run 140 FPS + on games like cod etc

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

I’m looking to run 140 FPS + on games like cod etc

which Call of Duty, at what resolution, and at what in-game settings?

do you already have a display to use or planning on a new one?

Intel Core i5-10400F Review - Six Cores with HT for Under $200

Intel's new Core i5-10400F offers a large performance jump over the previous generation Core i5-9400F because of its six-core/twelve-thread design. In this Core i5-10400F review we also test the feasibility of overclocking through BCLK, or by relaxing the PL1 and PL2 Turbo Limits.
