I'm sorry that I'm not expert enough to help you out with your build. But from previous threads I think people will want you to follow the full instructions here https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...ification-to-the-forum-check-this-spec.73718/ such that it posts the above details but so that it does it with a link that people can use to make suggestions for alternatives.

From previous threads I seem to remember reading that there is no need to order special thermal paste as the cooler comes with it's own good quality paste - but don't take my word for it unless you can find it mentioned in previous posts.

Also, tdo you have a previous windows install on a machine that you no longer need? If so you can transfer the licence to the new machine and that will save you a little money.

I hope someone who knows what they are talking about comes along soon to advise you on your build.

You didn't say what monitor you were using or the budget as requested, so you won't get a decent reply. For an extra £5 I would upgrade to the silver warranty though. Also the storage looks a bit weak compared to the rest of the build.
