£84.40 @ Alza

Its my first time building a gaming rig from scratch with around 1000£ budget(with monitor in this price tag) and I wanted to hear experienced people what they will say. NOTE I need the wifi card because of the current house I live I cant have cable connection with the router, I should clarify as well that I am a foreign student(a.k.a. I study in England but I am not from England) and saving money is a bit of a priority right now so if its possible not to exceed the 1000£ budget would be great.

If you need a monitor, drop the GPU down to a 5700.

The 5700 outperforms the 2060 in most games:

It does outperform it but by a very little and still the 2060 I have chosen is cheaper with around 20£. Oh probably I should clarify that I am a foreign student(a.k.a. I study in England but I am not from England) and saving money is a bit of a priority right now so if its possible not to exceed the 1000£ budget with a monitor in mind would be great.

You'd be doing yourself a disservice. The 5700 XT is close in performance to the RTX 2070 Super. A huge step above the standard RTX 2060.

The reference above is also for the 5700. The listing on the build above is the XT.

I know that the reference is for the 5700 and the listing is for the XT version and the build that gloop provided is very cool, but still I can't afford to go over the 1000£ mark for the budget and even changing the GPU in the build I made it leaves me with like 20£ for a monitor.
