I'm running a build from 2022 so a bit out of the loop with the latest and greatest. Cousin needed a cheapish first PC build for a 1080p setup. I researched and came up with this:
CPU: i5-14400F Motherboard: MSI B760 Wifi DDR4 GPU: Zotac 5060 Twin Edge OC RAM: 2x 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz C16 PSU: Either a Corsair RM750x or RM850x (to give a bit of room to upgrade to a 5070 or something for 1440p in the future)
Price wise we got most of the parts cheap, especially the RAM considering current prices. I was wondering if this is a good selection of parts? Alternatively I could for a similar price go for B760 DDR5 + 2x 8GB DDR5 RAM, maybe a tiny bit more. Is that worth doing over DDR4? I also have no idea about AMD CPUs, always been into Intel. Are they worth a consideration or is this build fine?
All the parts are ordered but I'd be happy to order better alternatives before building. Budget was around £750. #hardware #technology source
