Whatever you do, DON'T watch the Verge's video on PC building. I would recommend checking out channels like JayzTwoCents, Bitwit, Linus Tech Tips, and Paul's Hardware

A lot has changed in the landscape of PC building recently, one thing to point out is that, with the slight exception of super high-end stuff, AMD is the superior CPU maker, and for GPUs, low-end is for AMD Radeon and high(er) end is for Nvidia's stuff

Another great resource for picking out parts is /r/BuildmeaPC, where you can give your specific needs and people will provide a parts list of their own interpretation of your guidelines

Also see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRnHcRQUxuoeQM4-llcMNXTakKZcAAyB6 from Paul's Hardware

you can also use this website to test fit your parts before you buy them https://pcpartpicker.com/

and the Verge PC video is a total joke lol.

I like AMD and Nvidia and high end, I can't go too crazy but I like get the best I can, Thanks for this

This is what I have been looking at https://imgur.com/GBgDyJ4
I take it cables come with parts, am I missing anything, what do you think

That memory is way too slow, I'd recommend 3200 or 3600 speed

I could suggest this kit: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/Yg3mP6

Same amount, similar price, way faster

For the storage, personally I would use a different config but that's based on your own preferences

wafflecoffee please suggest storage or any other parts better, thanks

If I were building my own system, I would keep the 2.5" SSD as a boot drive, but maybe get a hard drive for plain storage. A 4tb hard drive, like https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/jD3H99/seagate-barracuda-4tb-35-5400rpm-internal-hard-drive-st4000dm004, (1/2)

can actually be pretty fast when it's not used as a boot drive, and is less than half the price of a 1tb m.2 drive. The 2.5" SSD will be quite fast, and an m.2 drive isn't really going to make that much of a difference in terms of speed, unless if you're doing some sort of video editing or something that needs super fast storage. (2/2)

How does this look, https://imgur.com/hxG9K3p

The memory is still pretty slow. The number that comes after DDR4-#### should be 3200 or higher. Otherwise it looks pretty good

Yes I meant to change that, tnx

Ok, as I expected had a couple of issues, I feel the case is mid-tower is too small, perhaps too many fans so not sure I might change this. the other issue the motherboard didn't wok and the pc while it showed a flash of light for a moment died. I believe it has something to do with the bios so I have decided

to replace it with ASRock X570 Taichi AM4/M.2/DDR4/HDMI/ATX Motherboard, before I do though I am looking for opinions, it appears to compatible I just need to be sure

It's possible that your mobo needs a BIOS update, since some mobos require BIOS updates to be compatible with 3000 series Ryzen

Hi, I gave it another go, but the info in the manual was incorrect, after much searching, I managed to find a video which and following that it worked, the system boot but did not post using HDMI, I think this will work but I need to plug into GPU, not MB. I will try this when feeling better.
