Only things I would change are the motherboard. It was rated with the worse vrm cooling especially as your using a AIO. The WD blue nvme is just better than the crucial and cheaper atm.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x MSI MAG B550M Mortar WiFi (AMD AM4) B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard= £119.99
1 x WD Blue SN550 1TB NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2B0C)= £85.99

Total: £216.48 (includes shipping: £10.50)

I see , I’ll swap the motherboard out , is there anything you could suggest for a ATX board ?

This. I've had mine 14 months now with a 3600 & its not missed a beat. Price has gone up & down like a yoyo since then (I've seen it jump up to £130 at one point) £90 is a steal.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £89.99

Total: £100.49 (includes shipping: £10.50)

Hi thanks for your reply , I was looking for a board with WiFi but if this is better than I will just get a WiFi card or something
