If you’ve only just put your order in you can make amendments to it. Can I ask what your max budget is for any potential upgrades (just in case we want to make some tweaks) and what resolution your monitor is?

At what point would it be too late for changes as the status is at ‘pre-production’? This build comes to £1300 ideally I don’t want to spend much more, I don’t want anything really over the top just as long as the pc runs nice and smooth while gaming the monitor resolution is 1080p

I like agent coopers build, but I would swap the case for a Corsair Icue 2220 and change the 1 TB HDD for a 1TB SSD

Works out to pretty much the same cost as above.

I'm no expert just personal preference.

I would opt for the following (changes highlighted):

Case
CORSAIR iCUE 220T RGB AIRFLOW MID TOWER GAMING CASE

(to maintain the RGB element, or Corsair 275R Airflow as the Fractal Focus G is no longer offered by PCS)​

Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six-Core CPU
Motherboard
ASUS® STRIX B550-F GAMING (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready!

(X570 is more expensive and unnecessary for this build)​

Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
6GB AMD RADEON™ RX 5600 XT - HDMI, DP, DX® 12

(better than the 1660 Super if you want to maintain max settings and push for higher FPS)​

1st Storage Drive
2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 256MB CACHE

(double the storage)​

1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (2000 MB/R, 1100 MB/W)

(for Windows)​

1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (2000 MB/R, 1100 MB/W)

(for games; can change to SATA SSD for £13 less)​

Power Supply
CORSAIR 750W RMx SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET

(much better for only £3 more)​

Processor Cooling
STANDARD AMD CPU COOLER

(sufficient for the 5600X)​

Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
LED Lighting
50cm RGB LED Strip
Wireless/Wired Networking
WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2,400Mbps/5GHz, 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD + BT 5.0

(Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth for only £11 more)​

Operating System
Windows 10 Home 64 Bit - inc. Single Licence [KK3-00002]
Warranty
3 Year Silver Warranty (1 Year Collect & Return, 1 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour)

Price: £1,322.00 including VAT and Delivery
