New PC advice

[nitnerolf]

Hello,
I am planning to buy myself a new computer. I am going to use it for school projects, casual stuff like youtube, facebook, photo editing etc. and other personal use; I am also planning to use it for casual gaming, such as: GTA, CS GO, Minecraft, Fortnite, Cuphead etc. I do not expect it to run at full details, but I rather expect it to run smoothly. I took the pre-made computer from the website and modified it a bit: I added a SSD, a monitor, 16 GB of RAM and a different case; I like this one a bit more.
Could you please help me with an advice? I will probably use it for the following 5-6 years. Is there anything that needs to be changed? My budget stops at £780 including the monitor and peripherals; I can't spend more than that.

PS: I don't know about the monitor. If there is anything better than the one specified please let me know as long as the budget does not surpass £780. Also, I won't buy it on finance, so if there is any better monitor on some other website I am open to suggestions.


Thank you !

Hi @nitnerolf , I think your post must have went unnoticed and potentially buried by other posts on/around the time.

As a minimum I'd reccomend updating the warranty to silver - will let others comment on the specification. These replies will have bumped your post so hopefully someone will see it.

Cool then, I appreciate your reply. Many thanks! I'll be waiting 1-2 more days for a spec advice. If I don't get any I'll buy it as it is.

Thank you!

In the meantime try re configuring it with a B450 motherboard and a 3300x AMD chip. Price and performance will be similar ish but its the latest chip and will be more future proof.
Stretch to a 1650 super instead of the 570

You will probably then have the minimum spec that anyone would recommend on here, but will do what you want it to do. I will have added about £50 but for peace of mind is worth it, it really is.
