Typical build check request

2400MHz RAM? Is that intentional?

Why a SATA SSD and not an m.2 NVME one?

Is there really any need for the DVD/Blu-ray drive these days?

RAM: That was just the default one on the build, but from the drop down list they're pretty much all 2400MHz, a few 2666MHz.

Storage: Didn't see any m.2 ones on the list, but looking again I see they're under different headings. Can swap the SATA for a 512GB INTEL® 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD if that's better

Disk Drive: Yeah it says not required. Sorry, I just copied most of the list directly so it was still in the list.

Core i5-10600KF is cheaper than 10600 but runs at a higher base clock & is overclockable* - would be stupid not to buy it IMHO, though you'll need another 25-37 for a better (air) cooler, too.
*ASUS Prime Z490-P is cheatest motherboard that would allow OC

NEVER buy 1x 16Gb unless you intend to replace it with a dual-channel kit yourself.
The 2x8Gb Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz is cheaper than 3000MHz; 2666 would do in a pinch if you're willing to OC yourself.

Corsair CV power supply is only just adequate; it'll be the first thing you'll replace in future.

For case, I'd spend the extra 11eur and get the PCS Spectrum RGB as it's got proper airflow.

Not really interested in overclocking. It'll always be a secondary gaming machine and won't be doing anything too hectic on the machine other than that.

Neither the motherboard nor ram show up on the list of options on PC specialist. Highest ram are all 2666MHz.

How about this:

That looks more balanced for a gaming build.

B460 + i5 is restricted to 2666MHz so if staying budget, leave it at that.

Ended up clicking on something different on the site and managed to find some of the other items you recommended. Pushed the button on the below last night because if I thought about it any longer I'd talk myself out of it, and at this stage my PC is 8 years old and laptop is 5 years, so even though they both mostly work fine, said I may as well upgrade.
