I was wondering if someone could recommend good value parts to finish a PC build I am building with my son. I have been buying parts that show up as good deals on HUKD, and now I don't want to buy any remaining parts which will bottleneck performance. Also would be helpful to know if any of the parts I have will slow the overall PC down. Anyhelp would be really appreciated.
Parts Still Required: Motherboard - ? Memorry - ? Case - Any good deals?

I ordered the cooler you suggested, worked out really well, as the other one I ordered from Amazon was going to take weeks to arrive. I have just been doing some research about 7800x3D vs 7900x3D. I went for the 7900x3D in the end, got it for £375 on the deal from here, so not too bad. Just hope I can return the 7900x, without too much hassle. I now know (very little) about the differences, and just thought I would go for it, due to he might benefit from the extra productivity side. Thanks again for all of your help.
Memory, motherboard and case still to go. However, I think these will now be a lot easier, now I have got the other parts ordered.

Intel will do a new socket soon which would mean a new CPU.
I have always used Intel but right at this moment in time it would be silly to buy the latest in their range of anything.
So, (in my opinion), it is best to start by looking at AM5 AMD processors & then find a board & DDR5 RAM"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52657270","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mrcrazyman69"},"datePublished":"2024-04-28T17:43:43.000Z","text":"Can't really help with the specs, but I built a cheapy pc for a family member a few weeks ago and used one of these cases from Scan. I'm really impressed with the build quality considering how cheap it is.

All parts have now been ordered, and my son is looking forward to building it together over the weekend.
I was unable to change the PSU, as the one I had was just outside of Amazon's return policy. However, it is not the end of the world. I also changed the case to something a bit more desirable for a child.
Thanks again all, I feel so much happier and confident with all of your support."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52658129","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"dcx_badass"},"datePublished":"2024-04-28T20:18:15.000Z","text":"Have you just been buying blindly as what you've got is bit odd/ott. Games don't benefit from all the cores, a 7800x3d would be better as the 3d cache does benefit games and it's cheaper and uses less power. reddit.com/r/b…3d/ reddit.com/r/b…3d/
That cooler is probably underpowered, personally I'm aircool all the way, but you want a 280 or 360mm really as the latest AMD chips (especially the higher core ones) run really hot. This would have been better I think. hotukdeals.com/dea…705"}],"commentCount":20,"interactionStatistic":5,"articleSection":"Ask"}
