Not built a pc since lock down where i went with a r5 5600x and 3070 card, looking to get something a little smaller that can sit in the corner of my desk so looking at mAtx this time. does this build look ok? as im a little out of touch right now, will be used to play AAA titles and build vitrual pinball tables so will run blender occasionally with a little bit of video editing but nothing professional at all. I have storage already as recently upgraded to m.2's in my current build any help is great thank you.

 
White build seems to cost more for some reason.

Memory you want 6000mhz C30 ideally as anything above that speed changes the CPU/Memory clock from 1:1 to 2:1 making it slightly slower till 7200mhz.

Case cant control the RGB via the motherboard.

CPU cooler there are bigger and better like the peerless assassin or even a 240mm aio .

Better value whit 5070ti with 5 year warranty if registered within 30 days but if you go for the cheapest 5070ti you could save £150+ then maybe get a 7800x3d or a 9800x3d.

While the AXP120 is a ok cooler it can get noisy. My wife had one on a Ryzen 5600 and it quite often ramped up loudly. For the same price you can have massively better cooling in the form of the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 white. It's rather overkill for a 9600x but it covers all bases should you upgrade to a more powerful cpu in the future. It's out of stock here but there are other places that have it in stock.

ah thank you for the replies, im not overly fussed on the white i just saw that case was the cheapest at the time i was looking so figured id keep with the colour but it doesnt bother me if it miss matches really. RGB i dont care for so i would probably swap out the fans for some none rgb. Will have another look around now while i have more time.

REdone your build and added the 9800x3d which is the fastest gaming CPU but you could go with the 9600x if you wish to save money.
