The 3060 is not a great option when the 6600xt is faster for similar price and the 66000 is as fast for cheaper.  That's also a lot to be spending on RAM when kits half the price will preform the same and you already have plenty of rgb elsewhere.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.

Awful case, CPU cooling and fans.

You can save a lot of money AND get better performance at the same time if you go with air cooling and bQ! or even Noctua fans for that price. And you don't even need a fan hub.

I wouldn't get used storage, never, ever. You spend a ludicrous amount of money in NZXT crap but cheap out on storage? Please don't.

 

There, that's what I think.

This.  Strorage is the number one thing I've had fail across work/personal/family/friends computers over the years.  and it's not even that much cheaper.

Don't do B450 on a Zen 3 chip. At least get B550.

  • Motherboard: Might as well go with the MSI B550-A Pro, latest generation chipset. £8 more expensive.
  • CPU: Save a little and get the Ryzen 5 5600 over the X. 5600x is also fine.
  • Case: A lot of personal preference here but you could save some money and get the crowd favorite in the P400A D-RGB then just a couple more Phanteks RGB fans, it comes with 3. Not a lot of love for NZXT's designs these days but if you like it, go for it.
  • GPU: RX6600 can save you a little money.
  • AIO Cooler: Arctic LiquidFreezer II, better cooling, better quality and not reliant on NZXT's crap software. 

The rest is fine..

 

Just released today, worth a watch:

 

 

Or, the Intel variant:
