Hello. I am planning to build a mini gaming pc and this was recommended as a good build and in my price range on a relatively popular youtube channel. I have altered it slightly to be slightly more expensive but really currently do not know much about building a pc. I willing to learn how to build but could anyone recommend any suitable changes I could make to improve the build. The sad seems expensive and I am not sure if it is worth it. Please put any recommendations below,

Thank you

You're right hat you didn't need the SSD, it's really just a waste of money.

Also I don't trust that 49.99 windows 7, it's really suspicious.

The 60 quid Windows 7 off Amazon is probably legitimate.
 


It's not 100% a scam, but it's shady as all hell.

They send you a Dell reinstall CD, and then a license that lets you register your version. It doesn't make alot of sense really, because I don't know where they get those licenses that cheap.

All I'll say is, we don't get those kind of prices here in America.
