What’s your budget and what games are you planning on playing?

What is the country/s you can purchase the parts from? Do you already have a decent gaming monitor?

Your PC looks balanced and should give many years of service.
The components are all from reputable brands.. I can’t see a my problems with it.

Can buy from Denmark and germany. Perhaps other countries in EU, but those are what i have found the best prices from. I have a decent monitor, but nothing special. The pc build is What i am concerned about tho

You left off the most important thing for a gaming PC. The monitor or TV that will be used resolution and how many FPS your looking to get.

I would agree completely, but the PSU he chose is not good for what it costs. Just a little more and he can get a top tier PSU like the one in my post above!

I guess it comes down to personal choice. Be Quiet are a fairly good brand, I’ve heard nothing bad about them. I’d tend towards Corsair (don’t hate me) but I have never had problems with them.

What do you suggest? Around 23 inches is What i prefer

 

[Lutfij]

That build looks spot on,. even the ram you've picked out has AMD'S E.X.P.O advertised on it;

You're good to go!

 

[stuff and nonesense]

If you like 23 - 24” you will be looking at 1080, they are about £100 these days

If you can stretch to it

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AOC-Gaming...ywords=27+1440p+monitor&qid=1722366564&sr=8-6

Is a pretty good, not sparkling, monitor.. there are plenty around that price.

So you need monitor, windows, speakers, keyboard, mouse and everything for about 1500?

I have all that except the OS. But yeah, might consider upgrading some of what i have already too

Here is a list that can show generally how good PSUs are. The Be quiet! Straight power 10's are not listed and therefore should not be trusted, only the 11's are on the list. There are no good reviews to be found on the units so they seem to be a gamble.

*Edit. I was mistaken on the PSU linked in the build although it is listed its Tier C, and should not be used. The one in my build is tier A and is good. There are other options but not at such a good price imo.

In my opinion, peripherals are most to least important in this order: Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard, Desk, Speakers/Headphones, and then Microphone. If you already have all the peripherals you need the only thing I would look at would be a good monitor and that's it. You can always get all the others when needed. This is a really, really good 1440p 27 inch monitor if you are interested. This is the review for that monitor.

Here is a review for the psu, bear in mind it’s a 10 year old psu, it should probably be replaced

That is not the same monitor that is in his original list. There is no 800w Be Quiet! Straight Power 10. That linked PSU is the Be Quiet! Straight Power 10 CM 800w.

Edit. I just confused them myself. To be clear the OP chose the "Be Quiet! System Power 10 850 W" not the "Straight Power." I hate Be Quiet's naming conventions...

– Tier C • Low-end
be quiet! | System Power : U9 =>400W / B9 =>400W / 10 Gold [850W]

The "Be Quiet! System Power 10 850 W" is a tier C PSU and it costs as much as the one I linked that is a tier A PSU (Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 TT Premium 850 W).

Is this the same thread? Also as mentioned in this linked thread, that PSU is not good among some minor component quips.

Found one review, middle of the road psu, slightly expensive.

Yeah, not worth getting that particular PSU imo, much better ones for similar prices.

Thanks, will go for your suggestion instead 👍 is the pay the only element you would change tho?

 

[stuff and nonesense]

For my money, all looks good. For ease of build, look at a semi modular/fully modular PSU. I choose Corsair, had no problems with them.
