Is this any good?

[AgentCooper]

The TUF X570 is a great motherboard, I have one and have spent plenty of time with it. But... the heat sinks and VRM aren't quite up to dealing with the 5900X. You'd want the ROG Strix X570 in there to make sure the system runs optimally and won't be throttled.

All done. Do you think this is ready to buy now?

Right, ta.

You're almost there. Get the H115i RGB Platinum (at the very bottom of the drop-down list of coolers), that one has RGB lighting on the pump head and the fans. The Pro XT just has the lighting on the pump head. It'll look nicer.

Upgrade the WiFi card to the AX200, it's faster and has built in Bluetooth which is very handy.

Get the silver warranty, so cheap it's a no-brainer.

Those changes add up to an extra £21 spent and it's well worth it.

(Also, get rid of the free trial of Bullguard antivirus. I know it's free but it's problematic and Windows Defender is all the protection you'll need these days)
