You weren't wrong about the Gigabyte PSU, it has horrible coil whine when idle. I will be returning that and will go for the Corsair RM, thanks for the suggestions

Great, thanks for the suggestions. I'll probably go the Corsair LPX 3600 as I've heard the Ryzen CPUs are hungry for fast memory. With the Fractal Design case, would you recommend adding additional fans or are those that come with the case going to be alright?

Thanks Herman! I have a slight preference for white cases but am not a big fan of RGB, do you have another case that you'd recommend? Would something like this be appropriate? https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/ybH8TW/lian-li-lancool-ii-mesh-atx-mid-tower-case-lancool-ii-mesh-performance
