Greetings,

Budget PC Build below, any obvious weakness or advice?

Also, I can get pretty much the same system built for me by overclockers for only £45 more.... I've not built a PC for 10 years and cable management is not my thing!

Better off letting them do it for me?

Proposed system;

GIGABYTE GA-H110M-S2H-GSM - £49
Bitfenix Phenom Matx - £65
Antec VP450 - £40
SanDisk Ultra 2 240gb - £68
HyperX Fury Black 8GB (4GB x2) DDR4 2133MHz CL 14 Memory - £50
GIGABYTE GTX 1060 ITX Edition 3072MB £189
I5 6500 CPU - £195

Total = £656

OverClockers = £701.02


Thanks

The SSD is low quality and same goes for the Antec VS series PSU that is a Tier three unit.

With the same amount of money, a better performing PC.

Few words.

Put in the best SSD at current date. More info from here,
link: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-ssds,3891-2.html
Case is the small cube one with a lots of different build options.
specs: http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002559
System's power supply comes directly from the best PSU OEM, Seasonic. 80+ Gold efficiency with semi-modular design to ease the installation. A solid Tier two PSU.

Antec VP450 has fully wired design and it's a nightmare to install it in a small mATX case. There will be leftover power cables with almost no room where to put those cables. While Seasonic G-550 is semi modular. That means you can install only those power cables you need while leaving the rest unplugged.

Thanks for the great advice, will go with your advice with the possible exception of the case which is butt ugly, a consideration as this will live in my living room and my Mrs is an interior designer.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

Thermaltake Core V21 isn't that much different from the Bitfenix Phenom. Both are cube cases while Thermaltake has a window and Bitfenix does not.
Since choosing the case is completely a personal choice, you're free to pick any case you (or she) likes.
