Building a PC for £750, any suggestions?

[Rafalex]

Depends on the particular PSU, cheap 600W brands are often not capable of putting out even 500W, let us know what you are looking at but a word to the wise don`t go cheap and make sure that anything you consider is at least Bronze efficiency rated.

Alrighty.

What do you think about doing a ryzen 1600x/1600 build?

[phillpower2]

Would work and for around the same price AMD Ryzen™ 5 1600X

[=3000&cmp=2984&cmp=2919’]Benchmarks]('PassMark - CPU Comparison[)

In case you are not aware, having six cores sounds great but if only for gaming they will not be utilised and the same for all four cores on a quad, only three cores are normally used but the more demanding that games are now getting the latter will definitely change to all four cores being utilised.

So would that be a good 1600x build https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/HB63Ps

Had to change the RAM as the specs say compatible with 2667MHz, new list here and CPU info here

Will look to see if I can find any other info on RAM compatibility and get back to you.

Edit to add: AMD only say;
Max System Memory Speed
2667MHz

See here
