Building a £800ish pc

[BiGcHuNgUs123]

I’m in my teenagers years and I’m planning on building my first gaming pc, I was wondering if there was anything I should change before I order them?

  

 

Cpu- and ryzen 5 2600

motherboard - msi b450 tomahawk

video card- EVGA GeForce rtf 2060

Ram-16gb but not sure which yet

psu- EVGA 750 Watt GQ 80+ Gold Hybrid Modular ATX PSU/Power Supply

Case- NZXT h400 black

 

Also will I need a cpu cooler because I thought the 5 2600 came with one 

 

is there anything I should change with this?

1. Ryzen 3000 series is coming in 7th july 2. ryzen 5 2600 comes with cpu cooler.

Thanks

You're wasting money on a 750W PSU. 550W is plenty. Ryzen 2000 and 3000 prices may come down in August for back to school.

thanks, what psu should I go for?

How much is the 2060? You can get a vega 56 for about 100 less from what I’ve seen recently and a vega 64 for around the same price

It depends what promotions are available the day you order. The 650W EVGA GQ is currently on sale and would be nice:

The Corsair RMx units are very nice if you see them on sale.

 

Oh, sorry. I didn't catch that you were shopping on the other side of the pond.

Cheaper motherboard, used that extra budget to fit in an NVMe SSD

 

But tbh just wait for Ryzen 3000 series to drop. You could probably get better bang for your buck then.

That SSD from Kingston is way too slow to be called as a SSD. Instead go with something like bx500 from Crucial.

Micro-atx board in an atx case??

It'll look small...

B450 microATX boards are cheaper, and the fatal1ty doesn't justify the extra outlay that could be spent on a better SSD

Also I generally do not care for aesthetics anyway.

I’ll replace the kinsgstone with the bx500 but I’m not sure about the motherboard because I definitely don’t want a micro-atx anymore , any suggestions for the motherboard 

 

btw I’m gonna wait for the ryzen 3000 to come out

I'd spend extra $8 for a better atx board.

Also the ssd that i suggested is faster than sx6000.

Also, that 2tb HDD can be swapped with something like this..

Someone from another post was saying something about the noise of this drive, I guess those were assumptions because I check the Acoustics and they were similar to most of the HDDs I've seen, this sounds a fair swap to me!
