Okay so I am just recently getting into PC gaming so I thought I'd start from scratch and I have a friend in the family who has great knowledge on gaming computers and he's put together a build for me and I just want to get you guys opinions on it.

Is there anything here that maybe I could do better?
Thanks

You're missing storage?

I'd probably be looking at something more like this;
CPU - Ryzen 7 2700x - £151.98
Mobo - MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX - £89.97
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 8 GB 3200MHz - £67.99
GPU - Gigabyte AORUS GTX 1660Ti - £259.99
Case - Phanteks P400A D-RGB - £79.00
PSU - Riotoro ENIGMA G2 750W - £70.39
Total - £719.32

Better motherboard and case. You could easily get it down to around £700 by swapping the 2700x for a 2700, or swapping the 1660Ti for a 1660 Super(if you find a decent one in stock for a reasonable price). Depending on what exactly you're using the system for, it might even be worth dropping to an R5 2600.

Ryzen 7 2700 - £135

EVGA SC Ultra Black GTX 1660 Super - £216.99
Gigabyte OC GTX 1660 Super - £234.01
Gigabyte Gaming OC GTX 1660 Super - £239.98

It would be easier to recommend the best CPU/GPU and other parts for you if we knew all of the information asked for here;

Thanks for your advice. I'm re-using storage from my old PC it's just a 1TB seagate. Its just a temp until I get enough money for maybe SSD. I'm on a budget. But thank you I'll look into it
