Buget of about 1000 euro, this is slighlty over, anything better for the buget? Any change I could/ should do? last PC was 2012, ( below) only upgrade was a 1TB wd second drive! (which will swap to the new PC)
For gaming but especially for Elite Horizons/ Odyssey which my old PC is no longer capble of.
If I have to push the buget then I just have to wait but specs would be good.

Many thanks
Gary

Hi, thanks for your impute, can I ask why, I am trying to work it all out! there are so many different options!!!
Would it be upgradable?
If I waited 6 months and increased to £1500 would I get a more worth while PC? ( daft question really but I hope you understand my drift!)

GIGABYTE B550 GAMING X V2 : DDR4, USB 3.2 - ARGB Ready, is this better? even though your not a big fan?

8GB AMD RADEON™ RX 6600 - HDMI, DP - DX® 12, again why please?

1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (3300 MB/R, 2900 MB/W , faster, but would I need 1TB if I'm swopping in a 1TB hard drive?

NO OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIRED, need win 11, win 7 is too out of date and will running the old PC for other tasks

Certainly an extra 50% to the budget would make a massive difference to the value of the PC and you could get a much more solid system.

The motherboard is better, not amazing. Gigabyte's boards in general are a pain for debugging when things go wrong, which is something I'd hate. But it'll work.

The 6600 is a far better graphics card than the 3050. Indeed, it's better than the 3060 too, while also being cheap. It's very good value; the 3050 is not.

You say this is a gaming PC: very few people would choose to game off a hard drive these days. By all means fit it, but I wouldn't want to use it to game off. SSDs, especially M.2 ones, are the way to go these days.

And yes, sounds like you will indeed need a new Windows licence.

Thanks, Im gonna raise the buget to £1500, I have no preferences to hardware other than best gaming for the money, Case is under the desk, need a Wins licence.
Monitor is a LG, Flatron, W2486L, I might need to replace that, but get the cash elswhere for that!!!
Delivery to France, but may have to go to your French site because of import duty.
Intereasted to see what you come up with.
