- Monitor to be used with this system? Resolution and refresh rate or make and model if unsure. Gaming systems are always specced according to the monitor

- Any other uses to take into account? Editing? Streaming? things like that

if i can fit one within the budget i would go with a 144hrz one unless there is better, now?

Your changes don't make sense to be honest. You've chosen a 4k gaming monitor with a GPU that will barely put out 1080p at decent frame rates.

The build suggested from @Nursemorph is the best you are going to get for your money. As suggested, in order to save and try to get the money down a little you could opt for the B550 motherboard. His proposed system is far more balanced than your own crack at it.

4k is very expensive right now unfortunately. The really great thing with the build suggested is that it's only a GPU away from being a 4K system. If you start saving again as soon as you can a £500 RTX3070 GPU will get you full blown 4k and it'll plug straight into your build.
