Hi there

I am looking at buying/building my own pc my requirements are as follows

Has atleast 6 USB slots or 7 if no built in disk drive
Support dual monitors
Be able to run the likes of farming simulator and ets 2 at medium graphics and gta v at atleast min smoothly.

I am considering this https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/gamin...c-ryzen-5-gtx-1650-1-tb-hdd-10209356-pdt.html
Could people leave their suggestions? First thing id do is upgrade it to 16gb of ram.


Thanks
 
hard to say - one of the important components is not specified - the power supply!
and as to how you intend to use it in 6 months or when the next game comes out would be highly subjective on my part. that's potentially how fast a computer can become out of date.

all I can say is right now, for the intended use you specified, it should be OK.
but as I say, statements like 'running smoothly' and 'medium graphics' are open to interpretation.
what I class as running smoothly may not be the same for you.

What would you recommend if I was to self build?

or in short, any power supply that is at least certified 80plus Gold and around the 750-850watt range and comes with at least a 5 year warranty will be a good one.
so you know, the bronze and silver ones are below gold and the platinum and titanium are higher than gold.
