Hi, I am looking to build a gaming PC for my son that will serve any gaming needs he has for the foreseeable future. Would these components make a great PC & are they all compatible with each other. Or can it be improved?

Gigabyte Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB Video Card £741.03

AMD Ryzen 9 3900 XT 3.8 GHZ 12 core processor £443.99

Cooler Master ML360R RGB 66.7 CFM liquid CPU cooler £99.99

ASUS tuf gaming X570-plus (WiFi) ATX AM4 motherboard £194.95

G.Skill Trident Z NEO 32GB (2x16) DDR4-3600 CL16 memory £184.95

Samsung 970 evo plus 2TB M.2-2280 NVME solid state drive £289.42

Corsair RM (2019) W 80+ Gold fully modular ATX power supply £118.46

ICUE 4000X case £100.95

P.s if I purchase the above would I be able to build a PC, or have I missed any vital parts lol.
 
Any RX 6800XT would be fine. Good luck finding one though as they sold out instantly on launch.
I would go with a Ryzen 7 5800X but again these are generally on a pre order basis. A 12 core processor is really over the top for gaming.

You don't really need 32GB of ram, 16 GB will be fine.

The cooler you have chosen is a 360mm one, your case will only fit a 240mm one at the top. I'd drop down to a 240mm one and add a non RGB 120mm fan at the back.

As it appears that you are in the UK I would seriously look at scan.co.uk bundles. For instance

3XS B550 Hardware Bundle, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, ASUS STRIX B550-F, 16GB DDR4, Corsair Hydro H100x (scan.co.uk)


The advantage of this is that it's built and fully tested for you so a lot of the tricky parts of a build are already done for you. It doesn't include WiFI but you can add a card for around £15-20 if it's not possible to run an Ethernet cable from router to PC.

are they all compatible with each other
Make an account at PCpartPicker.com and fill in your components. It'll almost always warn you of mismatches.
have I missed any vital parts
Monitor, keyboard, mouse, Windows 10.
serve any gaming needs he has for the foreseeable future
You're spending a lot to achieve that. A main reason to play on PC is the upgradability, so consider spending 1/2 now and half on upgrades in 2-3 years.
