You may want to bump up the RAM speed for Ryzen (3600MHz is ideal AFAIK). I ended up buying “Viper Steel Series DDR4 16GB (2 x 8GB) 4000MHz” because they were fairly cheap (~£120).

Might want to go for a larger SSD if you’re going to store games.

To be honest, as someone who has used an AIO water cooler for ~4 years and recently switched back to air – I don’t think they’re worth the money nor the potential hassle. Get a decent Noctua air cooler and it will serve you many years longer for half the price.

I’d be hesitant to buy a no-name PSU. Get a Corsair, Seagate, or other well known brand for your PSU. You can get a case and PSU separately for ~£50 each if you go budget, but spend more on the case for quality of life things e.g. drive cages or decent fans.
