I didn't want to wait, so I went ahead and placed an order online. I spent a total of £313.98 at Amazon for these things: (a) Gigabyte B760 GAMING X DDR4 (£124.59), (b) Intel S1700 CORE i5 12400 BOX 6x2,5 65W GEN12, Black (£43.98), and © CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 Desktop memory – Black (£30.69). Plus a P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD for £30.69. A few of the items were on sale at Amazon.co.uk, so if you subtract the extra cost for RGB RAM, it basically came in at just under £300. So, yes, this is for my mum (to get her set up with Windows 11), and she's going to have a faster computer than mine. X0) My original question: ------------------------------------------- Hi guys. I'm upgrading my mum's PC for Windows 11 and hope to start the build soon. I want some advice, please! The PCs will be used for eBay selling and general web surfing. I live in the U.K., so I probably bought from Amazon or maybe Scan? I have an EVGA Supernova 650 P2 PSU to use now, with plans to swap it out later. I also have a GTX 1650 to fit into the case. The budget is about £315, but since it's her birthday soon and she loved the RGB in my own PC, I'm adding an extra £15 for an RGB RAM kit. I built this into a Lian Li o11 Air Mini case with Corsair Masterfan Halo fans (the original ones, not the Halo 2). I have a Corsair AIO for cooling. Here are the components: (£99.99) MSI PRO B760-P (£114.72), Intel S1700 CORE i5 12400 BOX 6x2,5 65W GEN12, Black (£43.98), CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 Desktop memory – Black (£30.69), and P3 500GB M.2 PCIe Gen3 NVMe Internal SSD for £30.69. What do people think? Can this be improved upon?
Here is a list of parts I found for my computer build.
The CPU is an Intel Core i5-12400F that costs £98.99.
I bought the motherboard from MSI, which came in at £99.99.
My RAM sticks are 32 GB total and cost £43.99 each.
For storage, I got a 2 TB drive for £87.99.
The whole thing comes to £330.96.
I also added some extra stuff like WiFi, Bluetooth, and more RAM to the bill, bringing it up to £350.96.
All prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts if they are available.
Hey, you know I'm thinking about trading my current memory for a full 32GB package instead. It's actually worth it because getting RGB colors doubles down on how much space I get for less money than buying two smaller sticks separately. So yeah, I'm swapping those out now!
