So currently I play Tarkov on my Laptop which is fine however I want a bit more power so I'm building a PC.

I don't need a CPU or GPU as I have a I5-10600k and a RX 5700XT 8GB

I don't need a monitor or keyboard/Mouse

What I Need:
HDD:
PSU:
RAM
motherboard:
Case

£300-400

Honestly I think you'll be looking at a bit more than 400 with all of that. Maybe could squeeze it all for 500. Best bet might be to grab something 2nd hand.

Ideally, you'll want an M.2 in place of a hdd. Huge upgrade performance wise but it will cost you. 400 without cooler and closer to 500 with is what I'm thinking.

Also, air cooling or AIO?

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: Intel Core i5-10600K 4.1 GHz 6-Core Processor (Purchased For £0.00)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 35.14 CFM CPU Cooler (£22.94 @ Box Limited)
Motherboard: MSI MAG Z490 TOMAHAWK ATX LGA1200 Motherboard (£174.36 @ CCL Computers)
Memory: Patriot Viper 4 Blackout 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 Memory (£53.09 @ Ebuyer)
Storage: ADATA SU630 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£41.99 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB Red Dragon Video Card (Purchased For £0.00)
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400A ATX Mid Tower Case (£63.99 @ AWD-IT)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12III 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (£45.46 @ Scan.co.uk)
Total: £401.83

£400 is quite tight. I'd really want a more substantial PSU and CPU cooler with something like this. I'd also personally be spending an extra tenner for an NVMe SSD like a Crucial P2.

Cheaper motherboard option;
