Seems expensive.

I think you could buy all new for around £350 particular with the big AMD discounts running right now.

Unless your missing some other components being included like memory?

Ah I did not realise the motherboard is so expensive, I'd personally just buy a lower cost motherboard. Not much need to spend more money on the mainboard unless you require the features some of the more expensive ones offer.

What mobo you like is up to you - but in terms of components being good here is an x370 mobo, retail 1600x & better cooler (assuming normal case) for £353 new:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £352.97 (includes shipping: £0.00)

But for the same price I could get a better motherboard and cooler? plus I'm guessing that's not with the shipping
 
That cooler is better than yours - cheaper but better (note it's not low profile)

Also you get free shipping as you've over 100 forum posts. So that's included.

Yes you get a more expensive mobo second hand, but it's same chipset. If you like the other mobo and are not worried about warranties etc then go for it. I'd buy new personally given the lack of cost saving but it's your money.
 
You would be crazy not to go for this bundle. £303, no RGB motherboard but you can buy an RGB strip and place that wherever you want in the case for the same effect. Also you get a choice of 2 triple A games with the bundle, which you can check out here: https://promotion.asus.com/en/uk/Ryzen. So even more potential to keep them instead of buying them and save a lot of money.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £313.43 (includes shipping: £10.50)​

That bundle is great agreed Tom. I'd take it over what I linked for sure (just comparing 1600x & x370 for sake of being what OP was looking at) . Good shout on the adaptor for the cooler micky, forgot to check :(
 
The 212 evo is a much worse cooler... It was good a long time ago and got rated highly due to its low price and decent performance. Since then performance progressed and the 212 got more expensive... It's really not worth the money now.
