Thanks again. Planning to do the build during Christmas break.

Thanks @dfour . What about 3400G CPU?

Can someone please help me to put together specs for a home PC? It will be mainly used by my 7 year old son for doing school homework and watching you tube. My budget is between GBP 400-500. I want to use either B450 or B550 with WIFI support (preferably wifi6 budget permitting). I can reuse...

It took me much longer than my previous build(2010). I did spent lot of time watching you tube videos. Did not face any major issues. List of problems/mistakes which I did given below: 1. Flashing bios on mother board did not work. LED on motherboard will blink for 3 times and then stop. It is...

I managed to finally build my PC yesterday. I had to make few changes as I wanted delivery of items on 28th Dec and not all items were available. 1. Phantek p400a case 2. Corsair RM650i PSU 3. Did not order Mugen cooler 4. Added one more 500 GB SSD for Linux. 5. iiyama ProLite XUB2792QSU-B1...

I am getting following warning when I checked compatibility of components on pc part picker. What are the implications of not having 4-pin ATX power connector? Don't think I will need to overclock for my use case.

Now all I need to do is find a good monitor with some sort of eye care tech and wait for boxing day deals :) My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £119.99 1 x Scythe SCMG-5100 Mugen 5 Rev.B CPU Cooler= £42.95 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 3700X...

Is MSI B450 Pro Carbon better than MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX?

@Danny75 and @keylion thanks for your suggestions. I will read reviews of these suggested monitors.

@Lemin Thanks for your suggestion. I will try using paste provided with scythe mugen to start with.

I have updated basket as per above suggestions. My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £106.99 1 x Scythe SCMG-5100 Mugen 5 Rev.B CPU Cooler= £42.95 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £289.99 1 x Sapphire...

At the moment I am using Macbook pro, I7, 2017 model without any issues for development work. I thought 3700x should keep me going for few years and then I can upgrade CPU(and possibly motherboard if required). Not planning to upgrade GPU though and hence thought I will go for XT version.

Thank you all for your advice and feedback, much appreciated.

I am planning to build a new PC after almost 10 years during Christmas holidays. I will be mainly using it for software development(3-4 docker images, wildfly server, Intellij IDE, postgres db, active MQ etc). My son will use it occasionally for gaming (mainly fortnight). I have keyboard and...
