Looking to put together my first pc for gaming at 1080p a rough idea of the parts I would go with:
Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini Snow Edition Midi-Tower Tempered Glass - White £124.99
Asus TUF Gaming A620-Pro WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard £149.99
KIOXIA EXCERIA G2 1TB SSD NVME M.2 2280 Solid State Drive £42.95
Aerocool Frost 12 PWM FRGB LED Fan - 120mm x4 £17.96
AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Six Core 5.10GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail £194.99
TeamGroup Vulcan EXPO 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C38 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (FLABD532G6000HC38ADC01) £99.95
Gigabyte Radeon RX 6800 Gaming OC 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card £424.99 (noticed it was on sale)

Extras:
Arctic 10 Way PWM Fan Hub £6.95
Kolink 120mm Magnetic Dust Filter - Black x3 £8.97

A few questions as I've never put together a pc before:
Did I pick the right parts any alterations?
are that graphics card and processors a good match?
what wattage power supply would I need?
any thing else I missed out like thermal paste etc?
And just any advice for a novice.

Just to add I was wondering how long people think a pc like this would last at 1080p
my budget was meant to be £1k but I slipped a bit over
I noticed that for a game like starfield for example you need a pretty expensive graphics card
thanks

Thanks for the responses

Yes so I was looking at playing at 1080p 60fps medium graphics settings. If I could cover most titles now and maybe in say 2 years. Would my rig or the rigs suggested be ok for that?
Also is 2 intake 2 exhaust fines suitable for this setup

Easily. RX 7600 could manage that.

It says here that on 1080p medium quality starfield the rx7600 couldn’t manage 60fps and that’s on a game that’s just coming out soon let alone 2 years into the future. That’s what made me think I needed a higher end graphics card to survive at 1080p. Could you explain? Thank you.
 
Starfield was optimised to run on a nuclear power station.

If you look at TPU's benches here, this is with max quality, there's a little chart at the top of the graph:

Most games are comfortably above 60 fps, but Starfield and Alan Wake 2 are particularly hard to run. Hogwarts is modestly

That a useful link.
Ideally I was hoping not to break the 1k mark for the pc alone however when I saw what you need for starfield 1080p medium quality 60fps I went for a more powerful graphics card which drives the price of the pc up. I guess it’s deciding whether or not your ok with the odd game or two being beyond your pcs specs. Could drastically change the price of the build up or down. I’ll have to decide that thanks for the help.
