Not worth it too be honest, That's essentially a R50 cpu If you are lucky.
Most LGA775 boards are dead or dying right now.

It would recommend not building anything before a 3rd/4th gen right now. That's the age cut off date in my opinion in terms of motherboards atm. Even they are becoming rare.

Not to familiar with this site but I’ll do my checks on 3rd or 4th gen motherboards ... it’s new to me but I’ll see I don’t have the money now to invest in something expensive
 
Hi again to all you amazing peeps, been doing a bit of budgeting and working a bit on the side...tough times

Hey everyone, would appreciate some advice. I recently moved to the UK and have been surviving with a "gaming" laptop, but am looking to get a proper PC.

I have been shopping around and came across the following assembled machine for £650.00:

The GFX card is crap, but would be "placeholder" until later this year when I intend to buy a next gen Nvidia RTX 30-series card. The machine would be used with a 1080p 144hz monitor.

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

It's all good, the only thing I would change is the MB for a msi tomahawk max or mortar max.

Also look at the B550 ... my son got that, and it is pretty good from what I've read/seen
 
I need a PC that can deal with Davinci Resolve 16 software. It's the Hollywood standard for coloring films (color grading). These are the system requirement for top performance:

  1. GPU - 6K-8K: 20GB VRAM
  2. CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
  3. RAM - 64GB
  4. HDD - 1TB for OS & program files, 2TB for media files ( NVMe SSD)
Am I better off building or buying?

I have a GTX 1050 which uses a 6 pin pcie power cable. My ups only has data power out. Can I simply pop on a sata to 6pin pcie cable and be good to go?

Yes will be fine.

Most 1050s don't have external power connectors and only use 75W via the pcie bus so yours will probably also be fine without external power.
