I stretched my budget a little and think I'm pretty much ready to purchase, on Saturday maybe. Could i please get some feedback on the case and cooling on this build? If its all good i will probably make the purchase :)
If anything should be adjust please let me know, so i can consider it.
Case...
Just to follow up on my latest selection and based on the case comments. Would the selected case be sufficient or should i be considering something else for better airflow and longevity?
As a sidenote, i have asked and got a bit educated about AIO coolers earlier in my thread. But just to be...
I changed to my original case of choice, not sure if this will fit everything well, what do you reckon?

I do really appreciate all the feedback you guys have provided, big thank you.
I have added the MB suggested to the build https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am5-pc/WaV7bfNGsq/ stretched my budget to £2089, but if it will last me quite sometime than i think its worth.
I...
Good suggestion, thanks. Unfortunately i dont think i will have the opportunity to upgrade next year due to other commitments. However im generally happy with playing at 1080p anyway, so if i can get about 3 years out of 7800xt and then upgrade then that would work for me.
Ah that doesnt sound too bad at all actually, thanks. What kind of lifespan am i looking at in the current climate with 7800 xt? I understand that it might be difficult to say, but generally speaking.
I get that, i just didnt have great experience when i put together my first custom PC and not very confident with doing upgrades. So i guess i created this multi year cycle (in my head) for complete upgrade.
With the system proposed above by Ekans2011, how long do you reckon before i would need...
Okay, thanks for the explanations, makes sense. Im not generally big on upgrading stuff, usually i run the system for 4-6 years and then build a new one. Would you make any adjustments based on that?
Thank you for your time. I could probably consider the motherboard suggested. I do have a couple of questions for clarification/education :)
Have no clue about AMD gpu, how does it fair against 4070 super?
512gb for OS drive (i assume) is that not too much?
1200W psu i would think is overkill...
I used the storage set up due to motherboard only having 1 m.2 slot, which i thought could be for OS and the other 2 for games/media.
Im not bothered about aesthetic, just want whatever will give good performance for money.
Do you reckon this GPU wont run well for very long (based on the upgrade...
I have made changes to my build based on the feedback i've been give and now looking at the current specs for £2021:

Thank you for the clarification. Am i right to assume that CORSAIR ICUE LINK H150i RGB is AIO cooler and i guess the best choice from PCS?
Can i also ask, i read split opinions about having one or two storage devices. Currently im looking at having just one 2tb ssd, would this run well with...
Perhaps i have a misconception of liquid/AIO coolers. I dont know much about them and generally think that if something goes wrong with them it could cause bigger problems for the system than if air cooler goes faulty. I suppose im not completely against them, i just wouldnt know what to look at...
Hey, im from UK and currently putting together a build for my new PC. Mainly to be used for gaming (maybe live streaming) and some general multitasking. Possibly 2 monitors in the future. Will be playing at 1080p 120ghz (maybe 1440p in the future).
My Budget is ~£2000, i havent build a pc in...
