Build Advice Will my new PC build components work together?

[JPAnderson1]

I am considering buying components off amazon uk and would like to know if they will work together, and will my current PSU and HDD work with these new components? Also, do you think I have chosen good parts for there to be a noticable improvement? Or what would you do differently? I am looking to play games on my 1080p monitor mostly and maybe switch to my 4k tv for certain games.

My current PC specs:
Processor - AMD A8-6600k APU with radeon HD graphics, 3.90GHz, 2 Cores, 4 Logical Processors
Motherboard - Gigabyte Technology Co.Ltd. F2A68HM-HD2
Case - CiT Galaxy Evo Mid Tower Gaming Case
GPU - AMD Radeon R9 380 4GB
PSU - Corsair VS550
RAM - 8GB DDR3
HDD - 1TB
OS - Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

I need a new PC case with fans so I chose this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/CiT-Mid-Tower-Single-Ring-Tempered-Water-Cooling/dp/B07G4TZPQK/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2D4ZMK5K7LH1A&keywords=pc+case+with+fans&qid=1691842758&s=computers&sprefix=pc+case+with+fans,computers,136&sr=1-3&th=1

I want to get a new CPU, motherboard, and upgrade my RAM and I found this bundle: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ADMI-CPU-Motherboard-Bundle-B450M/dp/B07TZVMD5K/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=motherboard+bundle&qid=1691878320&sr=8-3&th=1

I chose this GPU (RTX 3050 8GB): https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GeForce-VENTUS-Gaming-Graphics/dp/B09Q31PQ31/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LT27RC1HSPFR&keywords=rtx+3050&qid=1691877353&sprefix=RTX+305,aps,115&sr=8-1

I chose this SSD 1tB: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-BX500-CT1000BX500SSD1-Internal-NAND/dp/B07YD579WM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=17P81EH9UR370&keywords=internal+ssd+1tb&qid=1691838362&sprefix=internal+ssd,aps,206&sr=8-3&th=1

PSU - Corsair VS550
How old is the PSU in your build?

Don't bother buying that case unless you want to cook your internals. The mobo, ram and CPU combo is actually good, apart from the heatsinkless part of the motherboard.

I would try to avoid the Crucial BX500 unless budget is very tight.

Other possible choices that would work:

Crucial MX500

Samsung 870 Evo

I bought it about 7 years ago.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will consider those. Why should I avoid the crucial BX500?

What is wrong with the case? Can you suggest a better one for a similar price?

Master Differences Between Crucial BX500 vs MX500 in 5 Aspects

Crucial BX500 vs MX500, what are the differences? Which one is better? This post covers the differences between BX500 and MX500.

Above is an overview of the 2.

I don't think the BX500 has DRAM, which can affect performance in some situations.

Warranty length differs I think....3 years versus 5.

Performance difference in some situations wouldn't be noticeable...............but the price differential in USA is under 10 dollars at the 1 TB capacity level.

If budget forces you to BX, OK.

Thanks, I think I will go with the MX500 then, maybe even get 500GB instead.
