Hey everyone! I just put together a part list for my new PC build and I'd love your thoughts. Is it good for the budget I have in mind, and could I get similar or better performance for around the same cost (maybe up to £100 more)? Here's the list I came up with: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cqN6HW Thanks!

You might want to look at your motherboard choice; it seems a bit pricey. An alternative like the B850 could cover your needs without those extra features you probably won’t use. Also, are you sure you need a 750W PSU? You could save some cash with a lower wattage while still having enough for your GPU! And hey, if you're using a fancy keyboard, maybe check out some options that are cheaper and just as good, like Keychron. It’s all about saving bucks without sacrificing too much performance!
I saved you around £300 with my suggestions and I assure you won’t see much difference in performance. I came up with a solid alternative list—check this out:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7
- Memory: 32 GB DDR5
- Storage: 2 TB NVMe SSD
- Video Card: MSI SHADOW 3X OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
The total before your original peripherals would be about £2297. Let me know what you think!

Thanks for the input! Your suggestions look interesting. I might give that motherboard a shot!
