I'm in the process of building my first PC and trying to keep my budget around £600. I could stretch it to about £700 if absolutely necessary. I'd love to hear your thoughts on my current build and whether you think I need to swap out any parts. Here's the link to my build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/gJxdTM.

I've taken a look at your build, and I made some tweaks for a better GPU. You can check out my suggestions here: [https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Wj2GzP](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Wj2GzP). Let me know what you think!
But won't the new GPU end up bottlenecking with your CPU?
If you're just looking for something to carry you through the short term, your current build is fine. But if you're thinking about long-term use and potential upgrades in the future, I suggest you consider moving to an AM5 setup instead of sticking with AM4. It might provide better upgrade opportunities down the line.
How much extra would it cost to switch from AM4 to AM5? I’m really trying to stick to a budget here.
Not sure yet, but I’m guessing it might be tough to fit in.
Thanks! I’ll definitely check that out.
