I've got a couple questions.

Will there be any bottle-necking?
Is the PSU enough?
Is this spec enough for 1080p 60fps+ gaming on high settings?
The case i got as 3 fans will that be enough t
I want to play games like apex, witcher 3 and metro exodus
Thank you.

Looks perfect. I would highly recommend a 550W PSU though. 350W is massively under anything that would be recommend on here.

one more thing, would this spec be ok with editing videos and maybe streaming?

It'll do fine with some hobbyist editing to get you started. 6 cores & 12 threads is definitely a decent desktop entry.... it's not in any way a productive system though. The spent budget doesn't allow for that. If you're wiling to spend a fair bit more we can get there though.

Similarly with Streaming, it'll do OK with gaming/streaming at the same time, but you could do better with a bit more budget.

Hi, after much deliberation i think i am going to go for this build instead. Only thing i changed is graphics card, ssd and PSU. Is this a solid build?

Also, i am new to pc building and i heard about this new Vbios update for this card however, i am not going to do this( i think i'll muck it up) so how many fps can expect to get from the stock version.

Reason why I changed the nvidia card is that i read you can't use HDMI but i've already bought HDMI splitter so i can play on my ps4 as well on my monitor. When i read they only use displayport to use freesync it really ticked me off so I am going to buy this instead.

256GB isn't enough for a primary drive IMO. You will end up kicking yourself when you run low on space. Entirely up to you of course, just saying that it's not recommended.

The AMD Card isn't a good selection when it comes to software and editing, more compatibility issues and instability than there is with Nvidia. Again, I can only advise you, the decision is yours.

The case looks very sealed off to me and I don't think it will be particularly good for in-case temps, the hardware shouldn't push it TOO hot though so may be fine. It's not a great choice for future potential though.

ok, what if i got back to the first build with you recommendations but i use a DP to hdmi cable (i just seen that PC Specialist offers this adaptor rn), then id be able to still connect the hdmi end to the hdmi splitter and still play on my ps4 on one monitor. But if i do this will freesync still work?

How's this?

I think you’re confusing what an hdmi splitter doesn’t, are you trying to play the pc and PlayStation plugged into one screen? I’m unclear what you’re trying to achieve?

It’s a very old monitor, 60hz so no matter how many FPS you achieve from the GPU you can only ever show 60max.

You really need to look at upgrading the monitor at some point, it’s going to bottleneck any modern system.

Bur yes, in the meantime you’d need an HDMI switcher. I don’t think PCS stock those.
