Thanks, fixed the names from the ************ dump.

Swapped in the suggested PSU and Motherboard, so now looks like:


CPU: Intel - Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor (£257.94)
CPU Cooler: Fractal Design - Celsius S24 87.6 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (£95.65)
Motherboard: Gigabyte - Z390 AORUS PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (£165.59)
Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-4266 Memory (£247.76)
Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Purchased For £0.00)
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB Turbo Video Card (Purchased For £0.00)
Case: Cooler Master - MasterCase H500P Mesh White ATX Mid Tower Case (£134.98)
Power Supply: SeaSonic - FOCUS Plus Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (£91.67)
Total: £993.59
 
For £29, I’d keep the 750W psu.

650w may not be enough if you overclock or go SLI down the road.

You are overspending on the Ram by about £100.

Have you not considered an 2700X? It will be cheaper than the above.
You can spend on a good board, and get 3466/3600 ram. Also there are good deals coming on this Friday from AMD here at OCUK according to Gibbo.
