So that psu is sketchy as all hell. Dont get that. Get a good quality unit. No need for 850w here.

 

Poorly ventilated case get something with a mesh front.

 

A singlr stick of ram absolutly cripples performance for ryzen and even worse for the igpu. Always make sure you have at least 2 sticks. Cl16 3600mhz is the sweetspot

 

 

[Middcore]

Do not under any circumstances get single channel RAM. Use two 8GB modules instead of the single 16GB one. 

 

It's not necessary buy an APU like the 5600G since you have a discrete graphics card. See if a regular 5600 is cheaper. 

 

850W is way more wattage than you need for this build and the quality of that particular unit is dubious. Get a reputable PSU in the ~600W range.

Not really

Get a 5600 not a 5600G, it's faster

Get 2x8GB RAm not 1x16 to have dual channel

Get a cheaper Pcie3 drive, you don't need a PCie4 980

You don't need a 850W PSU

 

Not sure how you manage to get your parts for £800 because with cheaper parts it's still close to 800 ...

As was told, ditch the 5600g for a 5600. No need for the APU with a 6600. Also, buy a 1 TB SSD and a PSU like this:

The R5 5600 is literally £2.99 more so I would get that instead.

I would go with a 1TB SSD as the price difference is only £34.
