Is everything here compatible?

It will work, but some choices are kind of bad.

Like the low Mhz memory kind of large wattage PSU and there are better options for the motherboard.

 

Something like this could work better:

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor £150.51 @ Amazon UK

You chose a set of 2400Mhz memory, which would cripple the performance of the CPU

So I just chose faster memory (3200Mhz CL16).

 

At your price point of 850 GBP (give or take I guess), you could go for something like this:

PCPartPicker Part List
Type Item Price
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor £157.00 @ Amazon UK
Motherboard MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard £73.48 @ Amazon UK
Memory Patriot Viper 4 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory £69.88 @ Ebuyer
Storage Western Digital Blue 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive £105.48 @ Amazon UK
Video Card EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB KO GAMING Video Card £319.99 @ Amazon UK
Case Fractal Design Focus G Mini MicroATX Mini Tower Case £51.67 @ More Computers
Power Supply Corsair RMx 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply £87.99 @ Currys PC World
  Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts  
  Total £865.49
  Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-04-29 20:24 BST+0100  

Which has a better videocard, double the SSD and just a bit more robust case.

Yea, it comes with two fans included (which are both installed in the front).

You could add some cheap extra fans, like two Arctic F12 fans and stick those in the top and back.
