Anyone who's good at building pcs help? 3 5 years 1 month ago #1173173

I'm trynna build myself a new PC for christmas that's relatively cheap. Wondering if all this is compatiable and would perform well/ any upgrades i could do.
uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/pRyvV7
I didn't choose a Power supply as i'm pretty sure i could just reuse my current one i assume and didn't choose a operating system because windows 10 is like 12 quid on G2A
Thanks :)

All is good mate :)

However should try chip in for an ssd.

Also recommend getting more smaller sticks of ram rather than 1 bigger one. Single channel can cause issues.

EDIT: Wait no im dumb ur motherboard is mirco atx and ur case isn't. they goto be same

RAM is too high clock speed Max that your motherboard says it can support is 2666 (I could be wrong on this).
Just a suggestion but you might wanna get an SSD (can just be small one for basic stuff but it is way faster to start up your computer).

and case compatability

Yeah i've changed the case to a cheaper one i think it should still be good?
uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6bzBPn
I also assume i wont be able to add a SSD later on without reformatting the whole pc?
And would it be worth buying a new power supply instead of re using? i've had this one since like 2016 christmas maybe?

If you already have a hard drive with windows on it then you dont need to format anything, but if you want to get windows on your ssd then you'll need to format both

I could just reuse my old harddrive for the build though?
and if i did get an SSD with my old harddrive would i need to buy windows again?

If you get an ssd then just download windows onto the drive and get a key ( you may need to rebuy it if you dont have the key from your current install, that one might work.

Should get an AMD CPU as they are better for gaming and price-performance after that get a different motherboard which has the correct socket and supports the AMD Chip you chose, also get higher speed RAM because AMD CPU's really benefit from high-speed ram
