I'm extremely new to the world of pc building which means it's extremely daunting, I was wondering if one of you amazing people with far more experience than myself, can check my parts list and let me know if it's some what decent. I aim to use the pc for gaming and designing, not streaming or anything. I understand I have a relatively low budget but I don't have much spare so £600 is my limit, if I'm being unreasonable feel free to let me know because I really have no clue what I'm doing.

Here's the parts uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/CyjD8M

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor (£114.78 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard (£99.60 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (£66.97 @ Laptops Direct)
Storage: Intel 660p 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (£55.16 @ Amazon UK)
Video Card: XFX Radeon RX 570 8 GB Video Card (£130.00 @ Amazon UK)
Case: Phanteks ECLIPSE P350X ATX Mid Tower Case (£61.99 @ AWD-IT)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (£69.98 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £598.48

If you don't care about having RGB on the case, then you can get the standard P400A;
uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/3RJmP...c400atg_bk
It's a bit bigger and better quality than the P350X. Have a P350X myself though, and love it- great case if it's what you like. The P400A had not released when I got my P350X tbf, I'd have gone P400A instead.

If you want a 90 quid mobo, get this instead of the Gigabyte one;

That said, I'd just spend the extra tenner for an MSI B450 Tomahawk/MAX- it's a better motherboard than both the Gigabyte and AsRock ones.

3200MHz RAM instead, since hopefully you'll be able to set 3200MHz XMP. The Vengeance LPX 3000MHz would also be fine though, you should be able to run at 2933MHz XMP with the Vengeance LPX.

I'd buy a bigger SSD for now, and add an HDD later. The 512GB 660p should last you for now, until you can add a 1TB or 2TB HDD, which are fairly cheap these days anyway. 240/256GB on an SSD is pretty minimal now so I'd definitely aim for 480-512GB. Also, the 660p is a significantly faster SSD than the Kingston A400.

Whatever you do, definitely don't buy a GTX 1050Ti, and especially not for 130 quid. The RX 570 is a much better option than the 1050Ti. You can find used 8GB RX 480/580's for around 100 quid really easy which would be a solid option for 1080p60Hz, or even higher resolution/refresh rate depending on what games you'll be playing. If you're buying new though, then an RX 570 for £130 is a good shout, like I said, much better than the 1050Ti.
