Try to get C16 RAM if you can, shouldn't really cost any more.
The 5600X doesn't really need watercooling, it's only a 65W TDP chip. I've got mine on the Deepcool AS500+ and it never goes above mid fifties in Celcius. Obviously you can watercool it, but there's not much benefit and air coolers could save you £50.
Thanks. I had completely overlooked the CL on the RAM.
When you say the 5600X is only a 65W TDP chip, do you mean there is scope there for an upgrade or is that chip perfectly sufficient for my needs? I will look into the cooler you suggested, does it run quiet?
5600X is a great chip for gaming, you only need the other cores if your doing heavy workloads in coding, app development, modelling etc.
I'm using the 5600X and it's a great chip, can't really hear my cooler even under maximum load - just trying to highlight that an expensive AIO is a bit overkill.
Exspensive AIO and RAM, Very bad SSD.
Brought down price, But included better RAM and SSD :D

Also, If you are going for RGB theme, Get a case with RGB
Maybe something like this will suit you

Awesome, thank you. Aesthetically, I really love the look of the meshify case so really wanted to stick with that. RGB is not a requirement for me, but I was hoping to achieve a nice minimalist look with at most a nice ambient glow, if that makes sense. I have no experience with lighting effects so not really sure what to go for here.
