I've been told Norton isn't really needed anymore so I was thinking of getting rid of that also is 16GB of ram enough for gaming, streaming and browsing
Need new monitors for a new pc

16GB should be sufficient but I'd change to the 3600MHz version.
Windows Defender is plenty.

Thank you so much for all the help so far, With the storage would i put the OS on the smaller PCIe and would there big a big difference in speed between the HDD and the 1TB NVMe as when i used to only have an SSD for my OS and all my games on a HDD the load times would take considerably longer than all my freinds.

you're welcome for the help, yeah the OS would go on the 500GB SEAGATE FIRECUDA 530 GEN 4 PCIe NVMe (up to 7000MB/R, 3000MB/W). general storage or games you're not plying on the HDD, then your games on the 670p, and yes the loading times will be a lot better

All updated now just need to wait for the 3080 to come through the pre order although I'm sure they were in stock when I first made the build but I guess amendments push you back.
Thank you again for the help.

I tried out a G9 in person today but I don't think it'll work with my setup as I set off centre of my desk, are there any recommendations for 24-27" 144hz 4k monitors that I could run 2 or 3 of.

What monitors? Sadly not, only time will tell. There's a black friday thread below, I'm sure if any of the members notice a deal they'll post it here so might be worth bookmarking

some early deals on Amazon here, but most are 1080p or low refresh rates so not worth the effort
Deal of the day: Monitors from HP, ASUS, Samung and more

Looking for a monitor that would get the most out of the card, I've seen everyone in this forum recommend the g9 or g9 neo but I'm trying to see what other options there are out there for 4k 144Hz (atleast).
Max budget is £2000 whether that be 1 or 2 monitors.
I currently run a dual monitor setup but have been toying with the idea of going for 3 as I often multitask on other monitors while gaming.
Edit: I mostly play FPS games like Escape from Tarkov, Call of duty and Rainbow six siege (if that is of any relevance)

I got my pc delivered about 2 weeks ago now, I have a 5900x and 3080, I was looking into 4k 144hz monitors as I play alot of competitive fps titles but there isnt many to choose from. I was planning on either getting one UW monitor then mounting a smaller monitor above it or getting 3 27" monitors in a pyramid kind of setup but i was wondering if it would be worth going for 2k 144hz monitors considering the price gap and the usage I will get out of them. Budget is up to £2000 (hopefully black Friday deals will help a bit)

A forum favourite for hooking up to a 3080 is the G9
