Yep looks good, re the overclocking, it actually decreases the performance in gaming of the AMD, CPU's as they auto boost as and when required, and if you overclock them you remove this ability

Out of interest, where are you planning on sourcing your licence for Windows? Are you retiring a system to transfer the licence over?

Some real dodgy keys out there mate especially these days with crypto mining being so lucrative. People try to slip whatever they can in with cheap software keys.

Make sure you buy it from a reputable site

Unless you are getting your key from an approved MS reseller, then you are asking for problems that we couldn't help you with

I've had some help from someone but would appreciate a second opinion. I currently have ordered a build with the strix b550-F but would like WIFI. Shall i change to the TUF b550 WIFI for no extra charge or keep the strix and add a wifi card for £20. Which MOBO will be better?

You don’t need the STRIX board with a 5600x, unless you are doing audio work where the low latency would be an advantage.
