This is the first time i'm going to be buying seperate components and building them, so I was wondering if you guys could check my potential build over so I don't end up making silly mistakes on component choices and wasting money.
The computer will be used for gaming among the usual things (audio + video playing, web browsing etc.).
I was aiming for about £400-£500 but I went over my budget and now it's at £700.
If there are any cheaper component alternatives, better components for the same price, any incompatible components or even components i've missed out please let me know. Any input is appreciated.
Second updated build:
