UK - Looking for help to get parts and build a PC. Extension to a previous post.

[michaelstephen1992]

Hi, I asked for help a month or two ago and I got help from the people on here (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3721082/build-buy-gaming.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=forum_email&utm_campaign=EPR-8809) but I went to check out the parts recently from the list I was sent and the video card costs a lot more than previously stated. I was waiting for a refund for a PC i recently bought that was damaged and didn't work as described, I recently just got my money back so I'm going to get parts to try and build my first PC.
I have £800 to spend on a PC and this is the list I previously got sent. I don't need a keyboard in the pricing this time but I need 16GB of RAM.

The video card doesn't show a list of prices on part picker and when I manually search it is a lot more expensive than stated on the list.

It would be great if anyone could help me with a build. I like playing total war games, dota 2, space engineers and shooters, AAA if possible.

Edit- An AMD PC would be preferred.

I would buy the Windows 10 key directly from Windows.

 

[michaelstephen1992]

Part picker lists the price of the GPU as £187 but it's £260...

 

[michaelstephen1992]

Total cost if now £856, damn.

 

[feelinfroggy777]

Was pcparticker wrong? It is usually pretty reliable.

 

[michaelstephen1992]

Yes, something else must have been wrong too, I just added everything into baskets and calculated the total but I realised the GPU price before that.

Happens every time.

When gpu prices are that low,you have literally minutes (maybe a couple,of,hours) to drop,the money & order.

Bearing in mind this forum is massive & I have no doubt that because I posted it here a lot of forum members or snoopers have dived on them.

 

[michaelstephen1992]

After the parts of the PC is together and I've put in the USB to install windows can I use an ethernet cable instead of a wifi adapter to connect to the internet to download the drivers?

 

[michaelstephen1992]

Should I wait and maybe add it to my wish list and hope it drops again because I can't afford that

You wont be able to use wifi without the drivers installed and the Ethernet cable may not work either till you install the drivers. Unfortunately most motherboard manufactures are still sending disc out with the drivers instead of a usb key. You may need to download the drivers form another computer and put them on a usb stick to get them on your new rig.

^ I dunno, I've done ryzen & coffee lake builds & the Ethernet drivers were installed from the current win 10 install package.

Coffe lake especially I see no issue really , the majority of the components/chipsets on the be60 boards are repurposed from the older sky/kaby lake chipsets.

& no a 580 4gb isn't worth £260 , the only reason I suggested it is because sub £200 it was an absolute bargain.

Just look,for the best priced 580 or 1060 when you actually have the money to buy.

Gpu prices are still incredibly erratic.

 

[michaelstephen1992]

Yeah, I borrowed money but I'll just pay it back and wait until I have the money to spend.

Thanks for the help.
