Yeah looks good, is it just for gaming? £250 5600x would be tempting, as would gen 4 m.2 (but pricier)
 
Phanteks AMP is now better priced in discount:
Phanteks AMP 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £87.95

And Crucial has better latencies at clearly better price.
Crucial Ballistix RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit= £188.99

Or use money saved from PSU for getting still faster latency and dual rank Samsung B-die kit.
Team Group 8Pack Edition 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit= £229.99
Dual rank 3200MHz matches single rank 3600MHz in gaming, so dual rank 3600MHz would match single rank near 4000Mhz.
 
Thank you EsaT for good ideas. I think I would go for the cheaper PSU and better Samsung RAM.
I want to create a build for gaming for the next few years.
 
For gaming it's mega overkill, particularly the CPU, the graphics card would depend on the monitor resolution/refresh.

If you only intend it to keep it for a few years you'll never see the gaming benefit of the 5900X.
 
You can buy the rm850 for £89 at the mo away. Gives you a bit of headroom if you upgrade your gpu at a later date(from what I'm reading next gen gpu's are said to be a lot more power hungry so who knows a few generations down the line)
If just gaming, consider dropping to the 5800x CPU. Theres only 1 or 2 fps difference between the 2. As the new consoles use 8 cores, game developers will always be keeping that in mind for their games so think the 5800x will last a fair few years before you'll upgrade.
Also as you're not putting a whole load of gen 4 nvme in there you could get the MSI b550 gaming edge wifi(6) board which is cheaper. It uses pretty much the same vrm's , and if you don't want wifi then the b550 MSI tomahawk is cheaper still.
As EsaT put, If you want the rgb ram, the crucial is same timing as the team8 and cheaper, but if you're going to overclock etc, the sammy b die the one to go for. It was on offer recently at £199.99. You can always be cheeky and phone them up and see if they'll drop it for you again

There are games that need more than 16 GB of RAM, maybe 17-18 GB, so limiting the system to only 16 GB is a mistake.
It isn't worth it to go for a better RAM for 1-2% more performance but when the applications need RAM, the system to ask the SSD for the page file.
