**CPU** | [AMD - Ryzen 5 1600X 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor]
**Memory** | [Crucial - 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory]
**Storage** | [Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive]
**Video Card** | [MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card]
**Case** | [NZXT - S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case]
**Power Supply** | [EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply]
**Operating System** | [Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit]

I won't be overclocking at all until later in the CPU's life, and I would prefer if the mobo costs around £130 or less.
