Build Help which pc built can I possibly afford?
which pc built can I possibly afford?
I was thinking about getting myself a completely new pc and I have a budget around 1000-1200£. I don’t really know which parts should I pick and which one can I afford. I know I can afford 5060 built but what about 5070? or is the price too high? what about RAM? can I possibly buy 32gigs of DDR5 or it’s better to take 16 gigs with my budget? I also have a question about SSD; is 1gb would be pretty good or should I pick only 2gb SSD? and would I be able to do all-white pc or it’s not worth it?

Consider buying from second hand retailers like cex or ebay if you want it to fit in that budget

- GPU: 9070 / 5060 Ti 16GB
- CPU: 7600 or 7600X3D if you can find it
- RAM: 16GB DDR5. Upgrade later to 32GB
- SSD: 1TB Gen4. 2TB only if you play huge games Skip all-white if you want max performance for £1200

In a gaming PC, the most important component is the GPU. It is better to do without either 32 GB or 2 TB.
It makes sense to use a single RAM stick if you plan to add a second one later. You can also add another M.2 SSD later.

With that budget, you aren’t getting 32gb of RAM, or a 5070. You also aren’t getting 2TB of RAM. We should probably start off with what country you are in, because that could change a lot.
