OK, I've Picked Parts For My First Build And I Was Wondering If The Parts I Picked Are Any Good. I've Already Got All The peripherals i need But Im Not 100% Sure On The Actual Specs.

My Budget is Around £550 (Flexible), Its Four Some Medium to high Gaming and Was wondering if You Could Help.

Thank You

you wanna go with 3000MHz RAM or faster for Ryzen if you can also, I would go for the 2600X it's not that much more. and if you can spring another £30 jump to a ssd 5400rpm laptop drives are super slow especially as a boot drive. those would be my few recomendations

I lurk a lot

I'd recommend getting the r5 2600, the wraith cooler can handle the CPU even with a little overclocking, and get 3000 MHz ram, and you might want to upgrade the mobo to the msi mortar. Then there's the PSU, a quick search through the forums recommends not using that, maybe a be quiet system power 9 https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/b37v6h/be-quiet-system-power-9-500-w-80-bronze-certified-atx-power-supply-bn246  or for a bit more you can get a very nice be quiet pure power 10 https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/4kKhP6/be-quiet-pure-power-10-500w-80-silver-certified-atx-power-supply-bn273 since you rely on the PSU to keep your system running (and not kill your components with sloppy power) it's worth getting something with a good rep. 

In order of importance, PSU, ram, CPU, mobo. You could also go for a 7200 rpm hard drive and save like £0.5 https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/HGTmP6/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd5000aakx

Spend a bit more and do something like this.

 

Bigger SSD as 120GB will fill up fast. Better board, psu and a 1TB HDD.
