Okay so I’m new to PC building and I’ve done a little research. All I want to know is are all of my parts I’ve chosen compatible with eachother and would they fit in my case? Also if you have a better suggestion for anything I’ve picked, something that works better or better value for money.

Welcome!

PSU is cheap and nasty, spend a little more on PSU.

Even something like this would be fine, though I'd usually spend a little more personally. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/be-quiet-pure-power-9-400w-80-plus-silver-power-supply-ca-11f-bq.html

Are you sure you don't want an SSD? I wouldn't consider building a PC these days without one, they make a huge difference.

What is your budget and intended use of the machine?

Okay that’s great thanks! Up to about £1000 is my budget and I wanna use it for gaming, I don’t need anything too fancy though because I work full time, but I want to switch from my console to PC. So anything that can run most games at 60fps with decent graphics is fine by me

And if you have a suggestion for ssd then I’m all ears, I just want to make the best decision I can!

£1000 is a good budget! Should be able to knock together a nice spec for that money. I'll have a look in a little while. In the mean time I'm sure others will be along to advise!

Thank you! I appreciate it!

What resolution/refresh rate monitor do you intend to use the system for?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Aerocool Aero One Mini Eclipse ARGB Micro- ATX Case - Black Tempered Glass= £49.99
1 x Patriot Viper Steel 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C17 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit (PVS416G360C7K)= £74.99
1 x Phanteks AMP 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £96.95
1 x WD Blue SN550 1TB NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2B0C)= £109.99
1 x AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core 4.2GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £188.99
1 x Gigabyte Radeon RX 5600 XT WindForce OC 6144MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £248.99
1 x Gigabyte B550M AORUS ELITE (AMD AM4) B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard= £109.99

Total: £892.19 (includes shipping: £12.30)

Something like this would be solid for both 1080P and 1440P, there's room left over in the budget for more storage if needed.

It's worth noting that the new consoles coming end of year will be cheaper than this build and will contain more powerful hardware if all you want to do is play games.

5500XT is quite a weak GPU, this one is much better assuming its going to be used mainly for gaming.

I personally wouldnt bother with a HDD unless its for bulk storage and certainly not putting the OS on one an NVME is the way to go.

Always get a decent PSU as it will last longer than all your other components.

While 3000mhz ram is ok for ryzen 3200 is a bit better and still very cheap.

He can always sell and buy a new one come the end of this year, GPU that is.

Patriot steel 3600 mHz 16gb @ 74.99

3600 mHz is the sweet spot with Ryzen.
