[SOLVED] New PC Build

[Scobie33]

Hi everyone,

The last time I built a PC was around 5/6 years ago with the following specs:
Fx6300, R9 280, 8Gb Ram etc etc.

I'm looking to build a new one which will be a huge upgrade but I'm totally out of the loop with current components!

My budget is around £1200ish and the build will be primarily for gaming (no surprise! ).
Could any of you kind folks propose potential component lists? The Ryzen 5 3600x & Rtx 3060ti looks to be a good combo but again, I don't have a clue!

Thanks in advance!

Looks good mate, thanks for that!
Are the m.2 ssd's much faster than the old sata 3 equivalents? They were new when I made my first build & more expensive!

in basic tasks not really,but there are some scenarios where you will feel the m.2 power over SATA.

But if you can use them,why not.

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.
