Could I Get Feedback on This UK Gaming PC Build?
Asked by

I'm planning a new PC primarily for gaming, with some occasional music production in Pro Tools. I'm based in the UK and would appreciate feedback on the parts in my build. You can ignore the storage, CPU cooler, and power supply because I already own those components from previous PCs and plan to reuse them. I included the existing storage in the list simply to keep track of what I have. I've heard mixed opinions about Gigabyte motherboards, so I'd especially like to know whether choosing one is a concern. I already have a Windows license as well.

Gigabyte motherboards aren’t automatically a problem. Their quality depends on the specific model, so check reviews for the exact board you’re considering, including its BIOS support, VRM performance, connectivity, and memory compatibility. If those areas check out, the brand alone shouldn’t be a reason to avoid it.

Because this is mainly a gaming build, make sure the budget is weighted toward the graphics card and that the power supply you’re reusing has enough capacity and the correct connectors for it. Your existing Windows license also means you can remove the operating system from the parts list.

The build sounds well suited to gaming, and the occasional Pro Tools work shouldn’t change much unless you’re using very large projects with lots of plugins. Since you already own the storage, cooler, and PSU, there’s no need to evaluate those parts as new purchases. Storage prices can look unusually high in a parts list, so it’s good that you aren’t buying them again.
