I'm looking to downgrade my current PC build since my gaming budget has changed. A few months back, I was advised on a build that would have cost around £1800, but now I'm hoping to bring it down to a maximum of £1250. I'm only playing games like Fortnite, Warzone, Battlefield, and GTA 6 when it comes out, and I'm not looking for 4K graphics—just a smooth FPS that'll last a few years. I'd prefer to keep the 5070 and CPU as they are, but I'd love suggestions for the rest of the build. Ideally, I want a white setup, but it's not a must. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Considering your budget, downgrading the CPU and GPU could be beneficial without sacrificing performance too much. You might want to look into alternatives or slightly older models that are still solid for casual gaming.
Another option could be the Ryzen 5 7600X with a slightly different setup that also fits into your budget of £1250.
**CPU**: Ryzen 5 7600X - £149.99
**Cooler**: ID-COOLING SE-214-XT - £16.98
**Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE - £119.99
**Memory**: Klevv CRAS V RGB 32 GB - £160
**Storage**: KIOXIA EXCERIA PRO 2 TB - £130.47
**Video Card**: Sapphire PULSE RX 9070 XT - £539.99
**Case**: Montech AIR 903 MAX - £54.98
**Power Supply**: Montech CENTURY II 850W - £74.99
**Total**: £1247.39
This will give you solid performance without breaking the bank!
Thanks for the alternative! This looks promising!

I appreciate the build! Is there anything specific I need to be aware of? I'm new to all of this, but this seems like what I’m looking for.
What specific options do you suggest? I’m stuck on which GPU to pick, but I like the 5070 since it's been getting great reviews.
