- AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (about £150)
Looks good. Check reviews of the specific one you are looking at, want the best cooler that it can come with, keeps noise down.- AMD Radeon RX590 (about £150)
Lots of options around that price point, check some reviews but first glance nothing wrong with it.- Gigabyte b450m ds3h Motherboard (about £60)
Only if he needs the extra storage. Easy to add later. Save your money for now I would say.- 480GB SSD (about £40) - does he need standard 1TB drive as well?
600w will be fine. DONT skimp on the psu, get a half decent brand. Superflower are good, but always do some research on this.- Power Supply - not sure but think min 600w?
That will be fine. Its a cheap case so wont be great, and reading the reviews some complaints about airflow.. good airflow is important for keeping things cool. Cool = Quiet.- Case - he likes this but looks almost too cheap. Any advice on fans as I'd prefer large slower/quieter...

OK, great Feedback.
I was getting confused with the size of the motherboards so will go normal sized board to match the case size. I like that case in the link and will run it by him. I think he likes LEDs on the front or something though but don't want to skimp on the case. Overclockers are doing good prices on most things I'm looking for.
That 2700X has a much better fan than the 2700 and it's got LED's and again he's into that.
I'm still confused about case fans. Do the cases come with a basic shitty one and you upgrade? I prefer larger fan going slower for more noise but do you just start with say 1 x 140mm fan.
Cooling Front 120mm: x 2 (1 included)
- Cooling Bottom 120mm: x 1 (optional)
- Cooling Rear 120mm: x 1 (included) or 92mm x 1 (optional) or 80mm x 1 (optional)
To get you started, Shadow comes fully equipped with two 120mm Spectre fans.
I'm still confused about case fans.
why not go for some extreme overclocking Cooling with liquid nitrogen

Have to say, all this cooling tech is amazing. I can see why kids are into this stuff.
Any one knows where I can find a Lego Bugatti Chiron at a good price?
I know you have a MacBook Pro so what does the Pi do that the Mac doesn't or is it a hobbyist thing?
Hi TonyJust a hobbyist/geek thing, plus always useful to have some redundancy when it comes to IT. I’m curious if I can get a really nice Linux build that doesn’t make me swear too.
To be honest I’m uncertain as to where I’m going IT wise at the moment. I just don’t like the direction Tim Cook is taking Apple or the current MacBook Pro range, though I do very much like the iPad. As such, given my MBP is ancient (mid-2012, the last one with user accessible bays, battery, RAM etc) I’m kind of looking at alternatives for when it dies. If I could get by with an iPad Pro for 95% of my pfm and general web access (I’m using an old iPad right now and do so for almost everything) then I suspect I could live with something as basic as the Pi for pfm server admin, my accounting, typing up vinyl etc. Its all down to whether I can find a Linux I actually like! Obviously I plan to keep my existing MBP, which I really like, until it irreparably fails, but thinking of alternative strategies is probably time well spent.
