First gaming PC build

Hey guys, so i wanted to build my own PC but cant buy a graphics card anywhere, so turned to PC specialists and to be fair its pretty much the same set uo just £100 more. I will be buying a MSI 144hz monitor and will be mostly playing Warzone and battlefield when it comes out. Im hoping to be able to stream but not for no longer then 3+ hours. Could someone just tell me if these specs are best or couldni change something. I want max fps but my mac budget is £1300. Cheers guys.

Could you include the link to your specs so we could see full list of your specs?

For streaming you want 5800X CPU or at least 5600X as a compromise.

Up your PSU to 850W so you'd have more power room for future upgrades without changing and rewiring a PSU with the whole system.

FrostFlow cooler isn't great. If you'll be streaming, you could get a better cooler.

I would have made some changes, but the 2060 is out of stock again, so you don't really have any 1080p GPUs available any more, unless you try to source your own.

How soon do you need your build? Nvidia and other component companies are reporting that their stock levels will start to normalise around April/May time. If you can wait a couple of months prices should normalise a little more and you'll get better bang for your buck. Right now you're paying a premium as demand is currently outstripping supply by a huge margin.
