Are you intentionally going for a white theme? If not you could save a little on the motherboard

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/XJbCmG/msi-b450-a-pro-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-a-pro-max

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I will consider that motherboard, does everything else look good to you?

the PSU leaves a little bit to be desired, have you had a look at the PSU tier list?

I will try and find another one. I will also have to find a different Graphics card as the one I had found has changed price. Is the powercolor red dragon 5600xt any good?

powercolor has a solid line of cooler options

 

this model also appears to be at a discounted price, 20 pounds cheaper than amazon on newegg

I had looked at that but that price is shipped from America. Also, going back to the PSU, I cant find anything better that I could get unless i really compromised on something else. On that tier list the unit I had added was in Tier B low priority section listed as being unefficient at low loads. Is there any psus you would recommend at that price point, or if not how much more would I have to spend to get a decent one?

oh I forgot that the V2 was in Tier B, it should be fine. It is improved over the V1 which I typically don't recommend for a gaming PC.

 

If the red dragon is the most economical option for you, go for it. The cooler is nice and quiet.
