Building for a friends son, I think I have about the best prices I can get here in the UK. Just from writing it down I didn't realise how MSI heavy it all is, but I don't have a problem with that. I have a spare 1TB hard drive he can have for game installs. I can get the motherboard locally because they will flash the bios for me.
Am I missing anything and does it seem quite a rounded system?

Good except the very slow SSD (get some SP A60 or Crucial P2), and the 3060Ti is not a good deal, if the user don't need to do 3D work an AMD 6700XT is better and cheaper

Do you really need an AIO for an i5? Do you plan on overcloking it?

Thanks, I've had a look and the Crucial P2 is the same read/write speeds and the A60 is slower? 2400/1900 vs 2200/1600. Am I looking at the wrong one? I hadn't considered the AMD, I will take a look, I thought at this price point DLSS would be a good selling point at this range.

WelI was thinking the old SN350 is plain worse not necessarily in max seq R/W but in terms of cache/memory

A clearly better choice is the SN570, maybe a tad more expensive

AMD has FSR which is DLSS counterpart
