And a better monitor. A 2080 ti is a total waste for 1080p gaming. You can easily get a 1440p 144hz monitor within budget.

The SSD spending is excessive, you can afford a better CPU if you want, the Strix GPU is a waste of ~£300, the no point to the Strix mobo over the Asus PLUS unless you need specific features from it? The Mp600 SSD is faster than the 970 Evo and cheaper, and if the 2TB SSD is for games then the 660p is as good as anything else. And the £100 wifi card is excessive, if you have bad signal, you should improve the infrastructure. Extra fans not needed either, you get 3 with the case and 2 with the cooler.

Thanks for support. Which 1440p monitor would you recommend me?

Gaming Monitors Guide

The monitor is probably the most important component in any gaming build – it defines how you experience games and the hardware the PC should have. Overlooking the monitor can be the single biggest bottleneck to your gaming experience. With recent monitor and graphics card launches, and wider...

www.pcspecialist.co.uk

There are a few categories on there, each with a few options. Which category is down to personal preference e.g. whether you really like / aren't fussed about curved screens, 27" or 32", whether you want the fastest possible response times offered by TN panels, or want the deeper blacks of a VA, or the colours of an IPS.

See what grabs you.

They're all 1440p, 144hz, with adaptive sync, so anything is a resolution upgrade over your 1080p monitor and will let you harness your 2080 ti's performance more.

If you like the idea of an 'ultrawide' monitor there are some options here, a few in the £400-£500 range too so not much more expensive than normal 1440p:

If you love to watch movies (darker movies etc) and still want to game a bit, I would give my humble advice for
LG 32GK850G-B

If you love 32 inch screen let's say

It has

1440p
144 HZ ( can OC to 165 Hz with ONE button only, built in OC into the menu btw.. )
Official supported from Nvidia G-sync.
Amazing colors and also the contrast is just lovely.
Ambient light behind the screen so your eyes don't get tired in the dark.

VA screen so no IPS glows etc. Got mine without any screen bleeding thanks to LG's quality control.

The model is not new, that's the only cons in my opinion but still rocking 2020. Pity LG does not produce the same VA screen in 32 inch but for 4K instead, would buy it even if they add higher price for it.
