Looks like its almost there! Would you mind providing us with your budget and monitor info? Also will you be doing anything else with the PC?

That PSU is way too lite.

Hi, this build is currently priced at about £1500, and I'd be able to go up by another £200 max. I am currently on an Acer Nitro VG240Y monitor but will be upgrading this as well so that shouldn't be an issue. the PC will be mainly for gaming, but I will occasionally be working on it but not heavily.
Thanks

Thanks for this info! Trying to re-create the spec, it's coming up at a little over £1700 for me, would you be able to share the green re-configure link that would've been on the same page as the rest of the spec? Or were you talking in EX-VAT?

I was talking about EX-VAT if that helps so I can still extend but I can still extend that by £200 max as I said before if that helps to reconfigure now with any changes you might suggest.

Ahhh brilliant, there's still quite some overhead in your inital £1500 budet so been able to get all the changes in the budget! Below is what I'd change- a build like this would go lovely with a 1440p 144-165hz monitor. Any questions, ask away!

Case
COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 MESH ARGB GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! Higher quality motherboard
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
8GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070 Ti - HDMI, DP, LHR Might also be worth looking at the 3070, the drop in performance isn't huge, and it'll save you about £110
Graphics Card Support Bracket
PCS GRAPHICS CARD SUPPORT BRACKET
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3000MB/sR, 1600MB/sW) Would opt for a dual drive layout- this drive would be for your OS and applications
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (3300 MB/R, 2900 MB/W) This one would be for all your games
Power Supply
CORSAIR 850W RMe SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET a 650W PSU would be fine for this build, however, for the extra overhead and future upgradability I'd suggest an 850W PSU, well worth the investment
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
Processor Cooling
CoolerMaster Hyper 212 (120mm) Fan CPU Cooler Black Edition Stepped down on cooling slightly, the 5600X isn't a hot running chip so this tried and tested 212 will perform amply
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Card
10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT
Wireless Network Card

Brilliant! Thank you, I will definitely implement some of these changes in the build and consider some of the other changes too.
Much appreciated.
