Not to be rude, but it's pretty bad. Lots of improvements can be made. What's your budget and location (country)?

I honestly recommend you wait until Zen 2 chips hit the market, rather than building a PC right now.

 

But if you want a PC right at this moment, check out this bulid:

Nothing to laugh about. You're using a crappy motherboard, you added no HDD to the build, and the R5 2600 is worse than the 8600K (excluding value).

Wdym? It looks super ugly (this matters to most people), has no support for SLI (although this isn't really important), and has a crappy audio solution.

 

And you completely ignored my other complaints about LukeSavenije's build.

Use uk.pcpartpicker.com to assemble your list. Click the [cc] button, middle of the toolbar above the build list. Paste the result. This will provide a much more readable list without the need to download and enlarge an image.

 

The psu has much more capacity than will ever be needed by the build. I'd suggest something around 550W. Corsair TXM, Seasonic Focu Gold are good choices. Corsair RMX and Seasonic Focus Plus Gold are excellent choices.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Well, you could get a r5 2600 for 30£ less, if you're willing to OC it yourself there's negligible difference between it and the 2600x https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/jLF48d/amd-ryzen-5-2600-34ghz-6-core-processor-yd2600bbafbox

with a budget of 1000£ you're spending a disproportionately high amount for ram  https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/#s=403200&Z=16384002&sort=price&page=1

better power supply for less https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/9q4NnQ/evga-power-supply-220g20650y1

pcpartpicker is pretty good at helping you find good pricing, you can even filter results to specific merchants, like amazon, if you're set on getting all your parts from one place

Am i not allowed too? He did ignore the HDD and the 8600k is faster than the 2600 (10 % or something like that). I am not his daddy who needs to defend him.

 

Just wanted to know why you think the MB is bad. Thanks that you elaborated that. I would still argue that it is a great value and if you are no audiophile and you actually like the looks (it is a subjective thing after all) i don't see any real no goes

okay, new to me

For games, sure. But in Premiere and other Adobe applications, an 8600K and RTX 2060 will outperform a R5 2600 and Vega 64. Not sure about CAD tbh.

 

As I mentioned earlier, it's not a good idea to build a PC right now. It's better to wait until Zen 2 chips hit the market.
