Do you definitely want an mATX board? Will look quite tiny in a mid tower case,

Is there a reason you've gone for the asrock riptide?

Tbh your list of parts is very good can't really recommend much as an alternative.

No I was looking at this prebuilt https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-gaming-pc-fs-1f6-og.html

But someone came up with this as it was much better than the prebuilt.

I'd bump that a notch to 850W or 1000W: you never know how much power the next generation of GPUs will demand.

That's still a capable 1080p gaming pc.

There's nothing wrong with the parts above apart from the motherboard being matx which @sx_turbo pointed out.

asrock was recommended when they came up with a build, would something else be better then?

No it's fine, just mATX is a small form factor motherboard.

It might look a little lost inside a large case, and it won't have as many upgrade slots.

The Asus b650 plus would be a good alternative option

or just get a smaller case. (i'm very partial to smaller cases myself

)
for most users, the only add-on card is the gpu, so going ATX with a large tower case is really a moot point.

Nothing wrong is just the one you have chosen is micro ATX and the case you want us ATX, it will still fit but looks small in your cae

Either get an matx case or atx motherboard or do nothing.
