Hi, I’m planning to buy these parts for my PC
Ryzen 5 3600x
GTX 1660 SUPER
B450 tomohawk max motherboard
MX500 500GB SSD
1TB HDD (not sure which yet)
CORSAIR 550W Power supply
Not sure which CPU cooler yet
And not too sure which case yet.
In the UK, how much on average would someone charge to build this PC for me if I gave them all of the parts?

Can't really answer that. It all depends on just who you ask. Some shops will not touch a build with your parts as they are liable if the parts are broken or doa from factory. They'd have to charge you for one of their parts, so you end up paying twice for 1 part. Then it's on you to get your money back from original part sales.

Or, some friend might do it for the price of a couple or 3 pints. A neighbors kid might do it for £30 and the experience or a shop might charge £30 per hour, and a windows install might take 3 hours after any updates and configuration.

Best bet is Google local shops and ask. Just read the reviews too.
