Looks pretty good though I'd suggest getting a gold psu, not many to choose from right now but this would be plenty for your other components and has a 10 year warranty so you know it's well made.

• 1 x Seasonic Focus GX-550 550W 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply= £87.95

You could save a few quid going for the mortar max over the tomahawk if you don't mind going with an m-atx

Thanks......Thinking the GPU is overkill for what i need, might take the saving now and drop that to a smaller card

Looks a solid build now that mate, you'll enjoy it

Do you need the CPU cooler? Ryzen comes with a cooler already and they are pretty decent tbh. Unless you plan to do some heavy overclocking? Could save £65 and put it towards a nicer monitor, more storage or something maybe if needed.

Almost commented on the 32GB RAM and said 16GB be plenty, but tbh Minecraft especially modded loves more RAM. And it's not too expensive so why the hell not. It's good future proofing

Just to throw a spanner in the works. I would try and hang on until the 16th as B550 boards are due out. The Tomahawk is a good board, but overpriced by about £30. It should be priced closer to £100.

You could easily go with a cheaper cooler like the Cryorig H7 or Alpenfohn Brocken 3. Also no need for the extra thermal paste.

Maybe consider a cheaper case to save a bit more money. The BeQuiet Pure Base 500 for example is £75 and still comes with two fans.
