I put this custom pc together. I just wanna know if I’m missing any necessary components or if everything’s compatible. Can you check the power supply, motherboard, cpu, gpu and ram to see if it’s compatible.
(P.S if there’s cheaper versions of these parts can you let me know. Also since the gpu is OC edition is it permanently overclocked or can I switch it off? I’m also on a budget of 850$. It’s meant to be a gaming pc that can run a game called fortnite at 60fps+ 1080p medium or high settings and to display 120hz 1ms monitor and record at the same time. By the way i’m in au.)

That all looks good.
My only concern is the words ‘gaming PC’ and ‘budget’ - there never seem to fit together well. In the end, one thing will need to change, either the spec’s or the budget.

Since you are in Oz, check out www.umart.com.au (if you haven’t already) - best prices I’ve seen and have been getting my parts from them for over 10 years.

Will have a closer look at the parts list when I get back in later but for now one thing that I would definitely not purchase on the list is the Corsair VS 550W PSU, VS = Value Series which are only suitable for entry level desktops such as for school work or light duty office work, do not use budget PSUs when there is an add on video card involved, it will end in disaster, an alternative PSU here
