First one in a while, check this build, have I missed anything?

Evening folks,

Been a while since I've specced a machine to build. Got this idea in my head for building a tiny subtle and quiet machine early next year for some UW 1440p 60fps gaming and photo work. So I am putting together some specs to see what I can come up with.

Here is what I have come up with. Case wise I'd be ordering the Loque whatever model is their current at the time. Thoughts? The only thing I am unsure of is the RAM. I've read Ryzen is picky when it comes to RAM :) - so not 100% sure if this is compatible or not.

The other thing I have doubts on is the CPU cooler and whether or not it will fit inside the Loque case. But that is easily remedied with a non stock quiet cooler. I'm even considering adding the "top hat" extension to fit an AIO cooler. But I'd wait to see how temps and noise are first I think.

Couple of thoughts...

- AMD over Intel this time, I am more productivity orientated over gaming.
- AMD GPU as my monitor has freesync which I want to utilise. From what I've read a Vega 56 should meet my needs perfectly.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,590.00 (includes shipping: £11.10)​

I was under the impression when it came to figuring out the PSU requirements you find out the TDP of each component, add it up, put a bit more on top, and then a PSU of that amount will do the trick just fine? Hasn't it been proven that many PC's have dramatically overpowered PSUs because people don't actually check the power they really need so their PSU's are very overkill?

Splitting the SSDs sounds good and the board does have 2 NVM ports so thats not an issue.

And that PSU is expensive as its silent/passively cooled and its modular.

Oh and 32gb is the max for that board :) - which is plenty for me anyway.
