Looks good to me.

As you want to overclock, probably stick with the z790 board. But I would grab some 6000+ RAM, and lose the 250GB SSD. Theres no point in having a smaller boot drive, just partition the 2TB drive if you want the boot drive to be seperate.

Thanks for that, the ram and motherboard i wasn't too sure on so that helped a lot 🙂.

Thanks for the reply this helps sorting out pricing! I was thinking of overclocking my cpu however so would a z790 motherboard be worth upgrading to e.g this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Z790-UD-AX-Multi-Key-Motherboard/dp/B083R7T5P4/

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/xXxRsY/gigabyte-z790-ud-ax-atx-lga1700-motherboard-z790-ud-ax

Retail price £178
