MONITOR: is 1080p will be upgrading later so I am ok with this.
USES: Mostly gaming and every day use.
Budget: Was limited to 2k Euro.

Hi all, I know this is after the fact of purchase but I would like to know if this spec is functional for modern games and if it is future proof?. I apologise in advance for my limited knowledge. Would just like your thoughts on whether I messed up or if I compiled an acceptable rig?. Please feel free to be brutally honest.

Looks pretty good to me! Is it still in pre-production? If so, there are a couple of tweaks I'd suggest. They're not massive things, but little things that might improve life down the road...

Please any advice would be great. I am already thinking I should have upped the PSU

Yeah, the power supply was one area I was thinking of. I'd definitely consider going for an upgrade to the RMx model, probably the 850W. That should cover you for all the upgrades you could ever want.

I'd also upgrade your primary SSD to the 530 instead of the 520: it's much faster. Finally I'd make the warranty the silver one as it's such a small difference in price for quite a big difference in cover.

In an ideal world I'd also upgrade the CPU cooler. Realistically the Cooler Master Hyper 212 is all you'll ever need in the 5600X and it's miles better than the stock one. But that's by no means necessary.
