Hey guys,
I'm after some advice on this build I have been tinkering for a little while.
My budget for this, monitor and all peripherals is ~£3500. I'm hoping this will last around 5 or so years, perhaps I'll up the RAM in the future if 32gb starts to become the new standard.
The primary purpose for this build is 4K gaming at 60-120fps, perhaps some light blender work too, though nothing super demanding.
The monitor I am going to preorder is a Gigabyte 28" M28U-EK 3840x2160 4K SSIPS 144Hz priced at £660, here is a link to the preorder at Overclockers:

I was torn between a 4K or a 1440p geared build. I decided to go for 4K as I don't have a decent 4k display for my PS5 and there isn't currently support for 1440p output. So this would offer the best of both worlds, I'd be able to enjoy 4k comfortably for the PC and 4k 120hz for supported games on the PS5.
My plan is to have the OS and other core programs installed on 1st M.2 drive and games on the 2nd. I have other external SSDs and HDDs for extended storage already. I went for the H115i cooler as I've heard the AMD CPUs run quite hot.
Any tweaks or adjustments are appreciated!
