Hi i currently have a msi gamingX gtx1660Ti and corsair CX550M that i picked up a few weeks back. Stuck them in a 2nd gen i5 until i got more money for the rest.

I now have the money to finish it. I picked a few bits on amazon and want to know if i'm forgetting/missing anything..

This comes in at GBP434.13 / €533.73 from amazon.

The parts I already have are;
GPU 1660TI GamingX;

PSU CX550M;

SSD 500GB;

I'll be using this system to game on 1440p/60hz.

You might want to add another HDD to your build. 500GB will fill up fast.

Yeh I agree. Games are so ridiculously big these days, and 1TB ssd's are very reasonable.
