To be honest this seems a little all over the place. Intel are not great currently and that motherboard probably over priced. Really only need 16gb of RAM and probably higher speed. Can also do better on the monitor I imagine.

Others will jump in i'm sure, as i'm no expert, but what is your total budget for build and monitor? Pretty sure you can do a lot better.

I don’t really want to spend more than £1800, I was just looking to use the one I currently own.

Not really clued up on this so any help is appreciated

Cannot comment on a lot as cases and such are out of my knowledge area but a few things to consider. Agree with Dan79, 16 GB RAM is enough for gaming and Intel are currently pants, an AMD will give better value and much better performance.

Onboard sound is enough today, they are all decent, so no need to add a sound card. I would suggest two drives, a fast m2 PCIe NVMe of about 500GB for the OS and main software/games and a decent 7200rpm HDD for storage. Fo 1800 you should be able to put a pretty decent rig together and others with more knowledge should be along to help, if not give this a bump in a day or so.
