Hey all, looking for a bit of help with a build. Couple of years ago I bought a pre-built PC as my first gaming PC which has done the job, but I'm looking to upgrade as I have an itch to get in to either streaming or making videos. I consider myself quite clued up on technology but it's more knowing what fits and works well with each component. I have chosen everything and configured a build that is ideal for my budget but I would really appreciate some advice on if it would be suitable and/or compatible.
Here is what I have configured;

OcUK Tech Labs AMD Ryzen Midi Tower Gaming PC Configurator

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six Core/Twelve Thread 4.25GHz Processor (MPK)
Motherboard: ASUS TUF B450-PLUS GAMING (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
CPU Cooler: Raijintek Aidos Black CPU Cooler for Ryzen
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-21300C16 2666MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2A26
Case: Raijintek Arcadia II Midi-Tower Gaming Case - Black Window
Soundcard: ASUS Xonar SE 5.1 PCI-E gaming sound card with 192kHz/24-bit Hi-Res Audio
Network Adapter: ASUS PCE-N15 300Mbps 802.11B/G/N Wireless PCI-E Network Adapter
Solid State Drive 1: Kingston A400 480GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" Solid State Hard Drive - (SA400S37/480G)
Mechanical Hard Drive 1: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 7200RPM 256MB Cache HDD - *System Stock*
Graphics: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Power Supply: Kolink KL-500M 500W 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
 
Thank you so much for the reply and the advice.
So if I replaced the Memory with - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B30)
And the PSU with - Seasonic Focus Plus 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply
Along with the GPU with - Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Do you think that would be a feasible build to run most games/streaming etc?
 
Aaaah apologies for leaving out a budget figure. I'm trying to keep it as low as I can, with the configuration I chose standing at £923 currently. an ideal figure would be £850-£900, maximum I could go is £950. I would be willing to build myself to save money but I'm not 100% confident in being able to, so ideally it would be built for me.

slightly overbudget, but definitely more bang for your buck:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,020.61 (includes shipping: £11.70)

if you are shopping for parts from multiple e-tailers, i'd change the ssd to the sabrent rocket 512gb nvme ssd, and the ram to the crucial ballistix LT 2x8gb 3200c16

Thank you very much for this. I had a look at the Sabrent rocket and the Crucial ram as mentioned and could grab them on amazon which, including all the other parts you compiled, would put the total at £1,000.11.
I may have to delay a little to increase my budget but it isn't that far off my maximum.

I really appreciate all the help and advice so far from all that have replied!
