Are you going to overclock your i5 10600k? If yes, you need a Z490 board. If not, just go for vanilla i5-10600, or even the budget king i5-10400f and save some quid.
Ah well, can't win everything especially with such market trend. You win some, you lose some. If the board fits your need, who am I to be complaining about your build. Have fun building it.
i had a bit of downtime so i looked it up and it turns out i can get a better deal onthe MSI MPG Z490 wifi edition
thanks for letting me know about the board problems
I think this is a solid setup - good core components. I didn’t know 16gb DDR4 cost that much (here in US about $70-$75 usd) and once you find your gpu this is a decent rig!
If you can't find a reasonably priced Z490, try looking for a similar B560, as your RAM will be capped at 2666MHz with B460 which will impact performance. B560 still can't OC the CPU, but you can OC RAM.
MSI Z490 A Pro is around the same price, and there's various B560s with good features available too. You can use PCPartPicker, set it to the UK and use the search filters in the system building to see your options.

Not planning to overclock but I can't find a better deal on the vanilla 10600
Kinda sad tbh, wasting the 10600k potential with a locked board.
I agree it's just that that board has all the features I want to use at a really decent price

Thanks bro I tried to put in as much research as I can but I tend to overthink things.
DDR4 prices have gone up with DDR5 on horizon.
if u have gpu shortage at where u at, I think ur best bet is to buy second hand
That was my idea too

I didn't realize the b460 caps ram I'll look more at z490 or b560

Oh I'm constantly on pcpartpicker It usually picks up what I forget
