MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
You should spend way more of your budget on a monitor.

You might look at the Asus PG32UCDM, which admittedly costs nearly £1200, but is the best 4K monitor you can buy right now. Alternatively, there's the Alienware AW3225QF at around £800. It would be foolish to spend this much money on a PC and get a £500 monitor. They're fine and would do a job, but they are not where you should be looking with this kind of budget. And a good monitor should outlast the PC.

Then for the PC itself, I'd be inclined to look along these lines. The only caveat is that Nvidia's 5000 series is coming soon, probably in the next two months, and may well be a significant step up in performance. Ideally, I'd suggest hanging on till then. But here's the system with a 4080:

Case
FRACTAL NORTH TG XL GAMING CASE (BLACK) Good case, though you don't *need* the XL one
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core CPU (Up to 5.2GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5)
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING X870-PLUS WIFI (AM5, DDR5, M.2 PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7) Much cheaper motherboard, and all you need for a gaming PC (X870E only adds more PCIe lanes and USB -- do you actually need any of that?)
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 6000MHz (2 x 16GB) 64GB is more than you need for gaming: 32GB is *plenty*
Graphics Card
16GB PALIT GEFORCE RTX 4080 SUPER INFINITY 3 OC - HDMI, 3 x DP No point spending more money on the Asus card that performs the same for more money
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7000MB/sR, 4700MB/sW) Boot drive
1st M.2 SSD Drive
4TB CORSAIR CORE XT MP600 NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 5000 MB/R, 4400 MB/W) Massive games drive (a 2TB one, or a Solidigm one, would also be fine)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 1000W RMx SERIES™ - MODULAR 80 PLUS GOLD, ULTRA QUIET
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
