A lot of it depends on your use case, your budget and your monitor.
What budget do you have?
What are you going to be using it for? Gaming, streaming, rendering, editing etc
What monitor do you have? Make/model or resolution/refresh rate would be handy to know. We pair the graphics card to the monitor.

CPU/MOBO: I would trade the motherboard down to the TUF x570 and with that money I would upgrade to the latest gen 8-core AMD CPU, the 5800x.
RAM: Your use case will decide whether you can drop down to 16GB or not, but either way Ryzen CPUs like fast RAM so 3200 or 3600mhz would be beneficial.
Cooling: The H100i Platinum comes with premium thermal paste applied, so the arctic paste is not needed.
PSU: I would choose the 850W RMx over the RMi model you have selected. It's cheaper, it's fantastic quality and it gives you a bit more room for upgrades down the line.
Anti-Virus: I would recommend sticking with Windows Defender, it does a great job and most anti-virus programs can slow down your system a bit.
Warranty: Silver Warranty for a fiver is a no brainer.

Hope this helps! We can go a bit more in-depth once you answer the questions above. :)

£2500 is a very solid budget. You can get a great build for that. I've tried to explain my changes as I've gone through.

Case
CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES™ 500D SE CASE Great Airflow and Aesthetics
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Eight Core CPU (3.8GHz-4.7GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Latest gen 8-core Ryzen CPU. Will comfortably handle all gaming and will also handle streaming if you wanted to give that a try.
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX) - ARGB Ready! The TUF MOBO is enough to handle the 5800x. The Strix is an improvement but by no means neccessary.
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3600MHz (2 x 8GB) For gaming 16GB will be all you need unless you're looking at playing MSFS 2020. This is also a very easy upgrade to make down the line. Either way AMD CPUs benefit from fast RAM.
Graphics Card
8GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070 - HDMI, DP The 3070 is a top end 1440p card. You can turn your graphics up to ultra and still get 120+fps on Warzone
1st Storage Drive
2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 256MB CACHE
1st M.2 SSD Drive
500GB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 6900MB/R, 5000MB/W) Superfast m.2 for your OS and programs, and then the PCS m.2 is for storing your games on.
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (2000 MB/R, 1100 MB/W)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 850W RMx SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Cheaper than the RMi, and is still a fantastic PSU. Gives you room for GPU upgrades down the line.
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
Corsair H115i RGB PLATINUM Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING The cooler comes with premium thermal paste applied so the arctic paste isn't neccessary.

I think the worry about Norton slowing things down is based on old versions of the software. I have Norton 360 on an ancient PC (just waiting for my new to be built). There is no noticeable impact on performance due to Norton on my old beast, so I can’t imagine it would affect a much more powerful PC.

Ah fair enough. I was under the impression it might still impact performance. Still not sure if it's needed on top of Windows Defender though.

Solid config. I’d just like to add some potential points about it.

The b550-f strix has a VRM that’s more than capable of running even a 5950x, unless there’s going to be extreme OCing, or the features of the x570 being used (like the second PCIe x4 for m.2) it would be better to opt for the b550-f.

On a cost/gb basis the 1TB variant is cheaper, this would be subjective if the extra high speed storage is needed.

Windows Defender has come on so much it is hard to see the point of any other AV.

That said, it does not hurt to regularly do full system scans. I like Clamtk but unfortunately that is Linux only.
