Nonononono not the 7400. Even the last gen AMD R5 1400 beats out that.

 

 

I'd change... many thing.

This is what I'm personally building. You can switch out the A320 board for a B450 board if you want but I've already got the board (bought it months ago along with case). Bought A320 because zen won't need overclocking for ages. I also have a HDD that I can use myself too.

 

EDIT: Added a HDD and an overclockable mobo for you. Mobo should be compatible so long as they don't send you older stock (by now most of the incompatible stock has gone).

There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

Current Rig (Dominator II): 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3133 C15, AMD Ryzen 3 1200 at 4GHz, Coolermaster MasterLiquid Lite 120, ASRock B450M Pro4, AMD R9 280X, 120GB TCSunBow SSD, 3TB Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166 HSD, Corsair CX750M Grey Label, Windows 10 Pro, 2x CoolerMaster MasterFan Pro 120, Thermaltake Versa H18 Tempered Glass.

Bad video card, not worth it for only 3GB VRAM. Small amount of storage to say it's gotta serve as a boot drive and storage for everything. That case looks like it'll make the components choke for air too.

Bad video card, not worth it for only 3GB VRAM. Small amount of storage to say it's gotta serve as a boot drive and storage for everything. 

Well there is nothing better and 3gb of Vram is plenty for 1080p gaming. Also IMO 500GB is fine, I use a 500GB each on both my desktop and laptop and not even used half

One game can take up 20-30GB.

 

3GB VRAM struggles in many games already.

I'd trade a 2600X for a last gen 1600 any day to get a better video card. (savings on both mobo and CPU). 1080p at £1000 is seriously underwhelming, I'd expect 4k at that sort of money. 500GB is tiny AF these days, hell in my main PC I have 4TB in total. RMx is stupid for what the OP needs, might as well go with the Bitfenix whisper that I recommended, system won't even draw close to the 450w of the whisper. HDD is recommended for LARGE capacity.

There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

Current Rig (Dominator II): 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3133 C15, AMD Ryzen 3 1200 at 4GHz, Coolermaster MasterLiquid Lite 120, ASRock B450M Pro4, AMD R9 280X, 120GB TCSunBow SSD, 3TB Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166 HSD, Corsair CX750M Grey Label, Windows 10 Pro, 2x CoolerMaster MasterFan Pro 120, Thermaltake Versa H18 Tempered Glass.

My secondary rig (The Oldie): 4GB DDR2 800, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3GHz, Stock Dell Cooler, Foxconn 0RY007, AMD Radeon HD 5450, 250GB Samsung Spinpoint 7200RPM HDD, Antec HCG 400M 400W Semi Modular PSU, Windows 8.1 Pro, 80mm Cooler Master fan, Dell Inspiron 530 Case modded for better cable management. UPDATE: SPECS UPGRADED DUE TO CASEMOD, 8GB DDR2 800, AMD Phenom X4 9650, Zalman CNPS5X Performa, Biostar GF8200C M2+, AMD Radeon HD 7450 GDDR5 edition, Samsung Spinpoint 250GB 7200RPM HDD, Antec HCG 400M 400W Semi Modular PSU, Windows 8.1 Pro, 80mm Cooler Master fan, Dell Inspiron 530 Case modded for better cable management and support for non Dell boards.

The 2600X boost higher so should be better in game, it comes with a better cooler vs the r5 2600.

The mobo is decent and supports newer feature such as boost 2.0, 2 m.2 slot which is not present on older board.

I personally don't use HDD because as I said I don't use that much space ( could be just me ).

True but it would go out of the budget otherwise

Well, the case offers great visual and build quality for a budget. 

Cheapest gold power supply from brands I trust ( Corsair, Evga, Seasonic, Bequiet )

Having an aio is better than getting into water cooling...

My previous system was water cooled....ND the cooling fluid became so gross after 2-3 weeks..that it clogged the pipes....after that I quit water cooling...

Water cooling takes a lot of maintenance.....

Kind of....

But there's no hassle in maintaining an aio..

It comes in as a single piece...

 

 

U don't need separate reservoirs,pumps,etc in aios.........

They are built-in in an aio...
