Welcome aboard.

That Asus board is brand scam for its price.
Even Asrock B450 Pro4 has stronger CPU VRM. (power circuitry)
MSI B450 Tomahawk is lot better and with working case cooling could take also 12/16 cores decently well.

That's really £30 too high price for the size/weight of that cooler.
Even step beefier Shadow Rock 3 has cheaper price.
And for that step below that size Arctic Freezer 34 is bang per buck choise.

WD Blue SN550 would be another well priced alternative for (non Q) Sabrent Rocket.

Fans are RGB overpriced...
You could get pack of five Arctic P12 PWMs for lot less.
 
Hello EsaT. Thank you it very helpful.

I am thinking to go for water cooling as again it looks better. I know it will be more expensive but I am hoping this PC will last me 4-5 year (long time to look at something every day) so I hope it will worth it.

In turns of SSD I will change it to WD Blue SN550 especially if I can cover it with heat sink (depends from motherboard).
