My pc has recently started to run so slowly for no apparent reason. I'm not very tech minded but have run anti virus and a windows scan and all clean. It's not overheating, I've disabled any unnecessary programmes in the start up, defragged, updated cleaned and deleted everything the internet...

Appreciate what your saying. Will make sure I check that out before I go ahead with it.

Ok, gotcha, thanks for the info, will check that out. If the psu looks ok, or I get the alternative, and sort the case out, what's your honest view?

I asked them to change the case because I wanted an optical drive. Can ask for the one you mentioned, and forgot to mention the Riotoro, is it really that big an issue (asking as someone who knows very little about this stuff). Get the impression you think it overpriced? Don't need windows.

Comparing it to this one really. https://www.ebuyer.com/961402-alphasync-ryzen-5-8gb-ram-1tb-hdd-240gb-ssd-rx-5600-xt-as-d5156

So, this is the final spec they've come up with, would appreciate your thoughts. Asked for an optical drive to be added CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Mobo ASUS TUF B450-PLUS Gaming RAM 16GB Corsair 3200MHz M.2 Intel 512GB 660p M.2 NVMe Optical 24X Dual-Layer DVD-RW Case KoLink Pitch +...

Understood, was looking at maybe the EVGA 80+, but will check out the Be quiet too.

Would be me buying it direct from the company, wouldn't do that however much I knew him! Don't risk friendships where money is concerned. This is the PSU - 600W RioToro

Think you can change the spec, as they have given me a couple of alternatives, but think he's got a deal with them so there's not a specific page I can direct you to.

Other than that do you think it's a fairly sound build? Anything you'd upgrade / change?

Friend of a friend knows a bit more about stuff that me and had a look round to see what he could find over the weekend, from a company called Palicomp, seen reviews on Amazon and they look pretty good. Slightly worried about what you say about the PSU not being completely trash!

Ended up picking the 3600 for gaming, after what you and Inspireless Llama said, also looking at specs not that much difference. Had forgotten the Seasonic Core, not heard of them but looks good. Any reason you'd pick that video card over the one I said?

Yeah, this was something someone put together for me after I asked for advice, not sure why they went for the smaller case, think I'd prefer the full size.
