Just triple checking before I go for it.

So I've had a few posts, took the advise and come up with a list , before I go for it can anyone see any problems. My main concern is Ram speed, I don't know which is best. And motherboard. As it's out of stock everywhere but seems to be everybody's recommendation. In the future I'd like to be able to upgrade the cpu to maybe a 7 or 9 without changing much else. Thanks

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,542.01 (includes shipping: £13.20)​

I know NZXT are releasing an updated case to the H500 called the H510, not sure when its out though, should be soon.

I'm after the H510i but it's not on overclockers yet. I just added the 500 to the basket for now.

£450 is not great value for a 2060 Super. 5700XT can be had for less, and is faster.

He wants Nvidia. So the 2060 seemed the best for the budget.

Also the 970 EVO should be swapped with the 1TB Corsair for the same price (ish)

Is that just because of size. Is the speed and quality as good as the evo. I didn't want to sacrifice quality for size and all the recommendations pointed towards the Samsung. I'd defo prefer bigger . I don't know enough about them to make a decision.
 
Thanks everyone. I must admit I'm a bit out of my depth here, it's for my son. And I'm trying to help. His pc is about 5 for year old and was bought second hand and not worth upgrading. We'll probably be building it. He picked parts like the cooler because they look good. And I figured it would need one so didn't mind the premium for some fancy lights. If it's not really needed for its purpose then it off the list. I'm going to go through all the suggestions now and have a look.
I tried to pick parts that were in our £1300 budget that could be easily upgraded with a better Gpu / CPU in the future without changing much else.
He's only using a 1080p at the moment . But will be getting a 144hz at Xmas and I've just been told that my selections probably won't run games at that. Is that correct.
All he defo wants is a Nvidia GPU , RGB , And a clean looking glass case. This will be his 1st Ryzen pc, after that he's picked of Aesthetics and from what I've read and watched.
We thought we'd cracked it. But obvs not. Any more recommendations and advise would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.
 
It's been a long day and I've got a headache, I think I've taken your advise on board. He still want Nvidia so I've changed and dropped a few bits. How does this sound.

Same case , NZXT 510i
CPU , Ryzen 3700x & Stock cooler
GPU, MSI 2070 super
MOBO, MSI B450 pro carbon. ( If I can find one )
RAM, 2x 8gb Corsair vengeance 3600MHz
SSD Corsair 1tb M.2
HDD, Seagate Barracuda 2tb
PSU, EVGA supernova 650w
3 extra fans for front. The Arctic ones.

That lot comes to about £1450.. I've tried to config some on overclockers and can't get any the same to see how much prebuilt ones are ( I'm going to contact them to ask ). But I have seen one of the shelf with the same CPU, Asus 2070 super, with a 240 AiO, same Ram and storage in a Corsair case on a ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING mobo for £1550. Is it worth the extra £100 for of the shelf with the support and warranty you get.

Also. I don't want to do or ask anything dodgy but do people buy windows for £150 or whatever it costs. I thought you could just download it.
