Have i made it so that this setup is trash?

If you aren't scared to OC, get an R5 1400 and OC it.

Or upgrade to an R5 1600.

And maybe get an SSD, a 120GB one is enough, i wouldn't say it's required but it's highly recommended.

im scared to OC  and i think that the £50 upgrading to 1600x would be better spent on the SSD you recommended which i am contemplating

 

edit: On the other hand i should OC and save £20 ... i will watch some videos and if i find it simple enough i will swap it out thanks @samcool55

As a matter of fact the acknowledgement that im not buying a heat sink makes it so that i will buy the 1500x as it comes with a better cooler out of the box (the spire) whereas the 1400x comes with the wraith stealth

The price difference between the 1500x and the 1400 is £10, but OP would have to pay £30 more for a 1600. I'd say the 1500x makes sense here.

 

The 580 isn't a bad choice either, but 1060s of the 6GB flavour can be found for about £30 less than this 580. They perform similarly but run a little bit cooler on average, and getting one would allow you to get the 1600 instead of the 1500x. If you consider it though, be aware that you will probably reach lower frequencies with a 6 core than a 4 core part if you're using the same stock cooler, which might not be such a good deal if you only care about gaming. You shouldn't be scared of overclocking anyway, there's basically no risk involved. Except if you're like me and you don't bother stress-testing when you're done, which can result in unexpected stability issues under heavy load.

Also, CPU overclocking is one thing, but you'll get most of your performance uplift in gaming from overclocking your GPU. You can get already significant improvements just from undervolting the core and overclocking the memory on pascal cards, which is pretty much free performance at this point.

You'd need a cooler with a 1600x, which would increase the cost even more.
