Any reason you’ve gone for a micro ATX motherboard in an ATX build? Was it because it was cheap?

There are a number of issues with that build. I’d definitely get some advice before ordering.

Agreed, I believe that build is rather unbalanced in critical components (particularly the motherboard and power supply).

Edit: @jchesterwebb1 What resolution are you aiming for? With a £100 more, you can have a far better designed system. What's your max budget?

I don't really think I need the features of the other motherboards so yeah money pretty much I'm not planning on upgrading ram or adding another SSD in the future

Pc specialist response about the ram

The RAM that is selected is based on stock level. We can not guarantee that you'll receive CL30 over CL40 RAM.

Free energy comes with the job as long as cooling is sufficient I don't see a reason to upgrade the PSU but if there are other reasons tell me

Apart from the amount of power, you may prefer a modular PSU (RM). Non-modular is a bit of a pain in the ass and somehow less futur-proof.
I would rather choose a better CPU than 6000 MHz RAM for the same price.
This motherboard is weak on the VRM side if you later want a more power-hungry CPU. And that is not because it is mATX; the Gigabyte is much better in that respect. Or the Prime, which is actually less expensive.

I would personally not select the PCS SSD. Solidigm P41+ is likely a better option if cost is an issue.

How much more power hungry are we talking before the motherboard is a serious issue would a a620 chipset support an 7800x3d because that is the max upgrade path I really want

The 6000 MHz ram is only 6 pounds more expensive than the 5600 MHz ram so idk how I would get a 7700 with that

You'd need a far larger budget to manage those resolutions; for £1500, you can aim to a 1080p experience.
Is gaming the system's purpose, or what? What monitor will you pair with?

To meet the future upgrades requirements, you'd need a much higher-quality/capacity PSU (an ATX 3.1 would be preferable); PCS only stock a few of them, including the 750W RMe, 1200W Rmx Shift, and higher variants. If you're using an older ATX 2.4, you shouldn't go below 1000W to be able to tolerate transient spikes that can increase GPU power draw by up to 2.5X the nominal TDP and leave enough room for the future.

I meant 5200 MHz (standard clock) non-RGB. Not enough for a 7700 but part of the way. Enough for a 7600X, which may be wiser. You can have a look at a comparison for your specific games to tell them apart.
In Passmark's gaming score the 7600X scores better.
