Hey folks! I'm totally new to building PCs and could use some insight. I'm planning to put together a gaming PC that'll handle games like Rainbow Six Siege and Fortnite at 120 FPS, with a budget of about £800-£900. I've been using ChatGPT to find parts, and here's what it suggested:
- Ryzen 5 7600
- Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler
- MSI AMD 560 Motherboard
- KLEVV Fit V 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM
- Western Digital Black SN770 2 1TB NVMe SSD
- Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 7600 Graphics Card
- MSI MAG A650BN 650W PSU
- NZXT H9 Flow Mid Tower Case
I'm particularly looking to buy RAM first because I've heard prices are going up. I'll be purchasing parts over the next six months as I save from my part-time job. Any advice on whether ChatGPT is a reliable source for this info would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, I'd steer clear of using ChatGPT for PC parts. It's not the best for the latest info on products or pricing, and a lot of what it suggests can be outdated. You might end up spending more than you intend if you're not careful!
Nope, ChatGPT isn't a reliable source for PC builds. The market changes so fast that the advice you get can be way off, especially now with prices fluctuating a lot. Best to double-check with more trusted sources!
Exactly! The parts it recommends are often outdated, and your budget might not even cover a decent build these days.
Yeah, it's pretty clear ChatGPT can mess up big time when it comes to PC parts lists. I'd recommend looking for recent community suggestions or expert reviews on building a PC instead.
Agreed! There's a lot of great info out there if you look in the right places.
Yeah, I had a similar experience. It's best to rely on websites designed for building PCs, like PCPartPicker, for the most current compatibility and pricing.
