Hi guys, first post on here so apologies if it's in the wrong section.
Basically, I've been in and out of building a pc for a while but now I'm in need of one and I'm not sure if I'm heading in the right direction. Primarily want it for gaming but also for work editing; Using CAD, Revit etc.
I've gone for Ryzen 5 2600 as i've read it's the most versatile for what I desire and has the added bonus of being clockable to 4.1ghz.
Specs so far:
Ryzen 5 2600
MSI X470 Gaming Plus ATX
GTX 1060 6g
2x8g HyperX 3200
Intel 256g SSD
Western digital 1TB HDD
Cooler master 550w power supply
Cooler master thermal paste
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/JzTZ7W
What cooler would you all recommend?
Is this build okay for what I need? I'm pretty much a newb in this.
Any advice would be great, cheers in advance

motherboard is overkill
ssd is too small
didn't see rams in the list? assume ~100 pounds, so your total budget is around 800 pounds give or take.
CAD Revit prefers Intel higher clock speed and gaming also. Do you render? Ryzen only wins on rendering.

I recommend you to get a better SSD, you can go with Kingston or Samsung SSD. 550w power supply is good enough but if you can buy a 650w PSU as AMD processor are power hungry and also it will make your Build future proof
