5800x based build with a £1000 budget

[EsaT]

Forgive me I had never heard of that ram before

And there's no reason to hear from it now:
It's heavily brand and Ridiculously Grossly Bloated overpriced.
All primary timings are slower than in £80 Crucial Ballistix.

And you could literally get 32GB of memory for the same price giving day and night difference more performance when 16GB runs out.

20g is a lot of paste.. You can buy it in 4g for £7 odd on ocuk i think which is more than enough for a few applications(can also buy with a spatula to get a nice even spread rather than dot method) .. I ended up getting some nt-h2. Both pastes meant to have good longevity so shouldn't have to reapply every year, and nth2 runs a bit cooler (from reviews i saw)

Nice powerhouse you have there too. When i was looking a few months ago, you couldn't get any sammy b die 3600 2x16 unless you wanted to spend over £300
