Get an RGB case with better airflow e.g. COOLERMASTER MASTERCASE H500

The 128gb SSD is a waste of space - get a 256gb M.2 one at least

What is the system for? Gaming? What resolution and refresh rate is the monitor?

The system is strictly for gaming (I already have a decent streaming laptop) and the monitor is 144Hz and is 24"

Then the spec overall is very good

I do strongly recommend a case with better airflow to help cool the components inside. The cooler the CPU and the GPU, the higher they boost their frequencies.

Ditch the 120gb SSD in favour of a 250 or 500gb M.2 SSD e.g. the PC Specialist branded one in the M.2 SSD Drive menu or the Intel 660p.

And add an RGB strip, surely! :)

Yup, added an RGB strip and added a 256 M.2 Drive (cost about £6 more than the 120gb one pretty good deal)
but one of my friends have the case that i went for and told me that it's cools his components pretty well but idk, i dont wanna spend extra money for full RGB fans

The case has a solid front with almost no room for the air to get in. It looks great but it's not very effective. It can't be, because there's just too little room for the air to get in.

Even if it's okay for your current mid-range components - and it probably will still not give the same boost clocks as better cooling cases - when you upgrade the GPU down the line you don't want to have limited the cooling performance of the system.

If the H500 that's £19 more seems too expensive then the H500 is only £7 more and at least has a mesh front to let in the air.
