What is your total budget?
Are aesthetics something you want if so what scheme?
What is the primary use?
Will you overclock?
Do you need a monitor? If not what is the model you are currently using.
New keyboard/mouse/headphones?


get the spec 01 or 02, or a 100r. I don't like corsairs carbide series that much. Do not get an optical. RX 480 8gb performs barely sub par and better to the 1070 in certain situations 100 less. The RAM is fine, but 2x4 gb.. Would've went with a 1x8 or 2x8.

Come back in summer when you're ready to build.

That cooler and PSU are trash. Plus a £50 case does not belong in a system of this budget. It's a sub par case as well.

Save yourself a few £££ with the OS.

Build a Win10 ISO by yourself and purchase a product key online.
