Its long overdue to upgrade my pc

Current PC
CPU:I5-4670k @ 3.40 GHz
Ram: (2 x 4GB) DDR3 -13333
Motherboard: Asus Z87-A
GPU: GeForce GTX 770 2GB
550W Power Supply

Everything is in my basket but just want to double check if everything is compatible and is worthwhile.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor (£168.30 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: MSI X570-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard (£149.94 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (£74.97 @ Laptops Direct)
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB GAMING OC Video Card (£368.95 @ More Computers)
Total: £762.16
 
Solution
Your upgraded parts will work fine together but which 550W PSU do you have? Unless it's a higher quality unit you may want to consider upgrading that as well.

Make sure you backup any important files and then do a clean install of Windows with the new parts. Even if it boots up fine with the current storage you will run into performance issues at some point due to conflicting motherboard drivers.

Will do, I was just going to ask about setting up essentially new pc up but keeping old memory. Bought parts now. Thanks for your help today.
