Hi all
Thanks in advance for any advice.
This is pretty much my budget for this PC (coming in at £1,146) but wondered if there are any tweaks that could be made.
Also, I'm sure if this requires any cooling?
The game I've probably spent the most time on is Total War Warhammer 2 (on my old PC).
I'd obviously like something that'll easily handle Warhammer 3 (although I appreciate the spec isn't out yet).
Thanks!

Assuming you are using a 1080p monitor There's a few changes you'll need to make ideally.

Motherboard switch to B550 - B450 is only supported on that Mobo via a bios update and theres no room for future upgradability
Network card - Upgrade to Intel AX - Card you've selected only supports 2.4ghz which can cause slow speeds in some cases.
Remove Bullguard - Windows defender is better and free, bullguard has been known to causes issues
Upgrade to Silver warranty - Pays for itself if you ever have an issue in the first year.
PSU - Upgrade to 750 or 850W to support any future upgrades.

You can negate some of these costs by changing to 3200mhz ram which will be fine for gaming.

You should be fine for cooling with that set up :)

OK, thanks for the advice - I've updated the spec.
Well, monitor wise I have an older BenQ 50-76Hz but would look to be getting a 24" 144Hz.
