Thanks again.

Is there a reason for not going a z370 or z390 board? With my only knowledge of pc components coming from Linus videos, I see him using those over most others in most cases. Is it down to preference, comparability, cost, or anything I haven't thought of?

Hey, I am new here so forgive me if my formatting or even the entire post is wrong, but I'll cut to the chase. As title suggest, I have a budget of around £1800-£2000 (with wiggle room) and I'm from the UK (Northern Ireland specifically) I am looking to build a new pc, my current one I built in 2012 with an i7 4770k, gtx 770, 16gb Vulcan memory and an old gigabyte ultra durable motherboard. I also have a triple monitor setup, but they are 1080p and would like 1440, 144hz and am willing to drop back down to two. I have not really followed much of the PC scene for a while, and seeing the difference in price on the likes of an rtx 2070 double or triple without being able to really see why, I figure I'd ask for some advise or recommendations. I don't really have a hard cut off in budget, but since I haven't really been using my PC much in the past few months, I don't think I can justify spending more than £2000 when I know I can get a very good set up for that. In terms of case, I currently have an NZXT phantom Enthusiast case, and like it, but it doesn't have a clear side panel and I want to be an RGB pleb on this build wherever reasonable. So something along those lines, but open to recommendations of others. CPU now, I have always been intel, with no real reason other than I made the last pc to primarily game on, but I am liking the sound of the 3rd gen Ryzen. I am also dabbling a little more in web design and might have to take up a little bit of video editing (but not a lot, if any) GPU, I would like to be able to have the choice to play new games with flashy settings, but understand that having all the bells and whistles will push up the total price of the build, so looking something reasonably priced, but still powerful for AAA games Cooling, I have always been a bit skeptical when it comes to water cooling, but understand that it has become a lot more reliable than it was almost a decade ago, still haven't really weighed up my options too much in the pros and cons of liquid or fan cooled. Storage, don't know what has changed with hard drives since 2012. Change scares me. Sorry for the wall of text, I don't mean to ramble on or anything, just want to get as accurate feedback as possible and appreciate your time and efforts. Thank you.
