Thanks guys

Assuming the Mrs won't let me go to the £600 budget I can just save some cash on the cpu at this time

@rah^
save £60 and get the ryzen 2600 from elsewhere = well underbudget - ocuk's ryzen 2600 is just frankly laughable

Thanks all, plenty to run with really isnt it!

Just to re raise this abit! I'm now in a position to order!

Would it be worth finding the extra pennies for a 5600 card over the RX590? if so any suggestions on which one?

budget?

Only around £50 more than I originally had in fairness

So tops out about £650

right on your £650 budget

- also took the chance to get yourself a new case too

1) you got free shipping from ocuk
2) the cpu is £30 cheaper elsewhere (with free shipping)

of course if you don't want the case can allocate the budget to other components
