Need help absolute newbie

Yes, just need to have an ethernet cable handy which can reach the router (how far away will it be from the PC?). If that wasn't possible OcUK could add a PCI wireless card for you and yes it would come installed.
My basket at Overclockers UK:
There's a case with red led fans, as well as two other cases to which you can add a single colour fan or RGB fan. The motherboard comes with an RGB header but you'll have to check with OcUK for compatibility with that RGB fan. They aren't always compatible with all boards. The Citadel has tempered glass going for it, and is micro-ATX like the motherboard. The NX100 is ATX but will fit the micro-ATX motherboard, and it's cheap right now.
There's this 4x120mm white led Zalman ATX case too:

What did you mean by this that I would be given this option at the checkout because I can’t seem to find it when searching on overclockers.
I understand that cpu’s Have their own fan. Would this come with the cpu or would that need to be separate purchase?
No mate, don't checkout. Like I said, you need to request it. If you just checkout with parts they won't come built. Start a new thread in the Customer Service forum (Pre-Sales Queries) https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forums/pre-sales-queries.117/ and show them what you'd like and ask for the 2500X (should be £120) and a build quote. You can also phone them but imo it's messy dealing with a full custom spec over the phone, better to copy/paste the spec for them to have a look at.
You can fill your basket with everything you want (except in this case the 2500X if you're going with it) and then click on BBCode:
Box will come up with code, copy it all, then paste into the Customer Service forum thread you've started.
It'll come with its own fan, saving you a bit of money.
Okay, everything the same except motherboard is out of stock so here's a different one (few more pounds but benefit is the MSI B450 boards are tried and tested and tend to be the best choice for that platform other than when it comes to high-end boards):
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Paste your basket into the thread you create, and request the 2500X added and ask for a build fee quote.
Change case and fan if you prefer.

You're welcome. Any other questions whether now or when you receive it, feel free to post in this thread and one of us will try help you out.
Like I said earlier, I don't like speccing small storage drives, but it's a lot better to start off with a faster SSD than a slower mechanical HDD. It's a simple job to add more storage later (we can help if needed) when you grow tired of uninstalling a game to fit another game.
Cannot see because the thread is private between you and OcUK staff (as it should be). You can copy and paste the content here (excluding any personal info) if you like.
Okay here (I was more just wondering if he would receive a notification)-

Ah, better remove the "_over" part from the name to make sure the alert works. Like so: @StigBourne
Rest is fine.
Rest is fine.
No problem.
Depending on the build quote: (a) you'll know whether it's viable to go ahead or not and (b) whether you can replace the small SSD for a larger 500GB SSD for example (WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB SSD is a good choice for the money at £53.99).
