I'm looking for feedback on my proposed PC build that I'm hoping to keep around £800. I noticed the prices are displayed in dollars, which I assume is because the website defaults to the USA settings. I've got about £200 left to spend after converting my budget. Can anyone suggest improvements or confirm if these parts will fit together? Also, I'm considering purchasing Windows 10 from Keylify since it's not available directly anymore. Is that a reliable source?

Honestly, your original build isn’t great. I’ve created a better option for you:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 – £91.95
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B550M K – £69.98
- **Memory**: ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D35G RGB 16 GB – £115.41
- **Storage**: Crucial P310 1 TB NVMe SSD – £89.99
- **GPU**: PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9060 XT – £360.08
- **Case**: Montech XR – £50.04
- **Power Supply**: MSI MAG A750BN 750 W – £59.00
This one totals about £836.45. It has some better components too. And yes, make sure to check that you have the UK settings adjusted on the site so you can see accurate pricing.
Good point! A decent CPU cooler will help with performance. It’s something to consider for better longevity.
The dollar prices are just a website setting. I've put together a better build for you around the same budget:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 – £74.98
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Assassin King 120 MINI – £17.99
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B550M K – £69.98
- **Memory**: Patriot Viper Elite II 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) – £186.02
- **Storage**: Lexar NM620 1 TB NVMe SSD – £80.34
- **GPU**: PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB – £360.08
- **Case**: MSI MAG FORGE 120A – £44.99
- **Power Supply**: MSI MAG A650BN 650 W – £44.99
This build totals approximately £879.37, but it should perform significantly better than your current list. Also, you should ensure that you set the country to UK on the site for prices in pounds. You'll get all the right currency options!
What about a CPU cooler? Shouldn't we be thinking about improving airflow as well?
