Budget (including currency): £1300-£1500

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming and running some simulations

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

This is the parts list I was thinking about, any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

Not a great cooler, when you can get an Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo for around the same price.

 

Avoid that motherboard. Either wait for the MSI X570 Tomahawk MAX which you can pre-order on ocuk for £217.99 or go with a cheaper B450 like the Tomahawk MAX.

The SSD is overpriced. You could get a Crucial P1 1TB for £105.48.

 

The 5700XT is better value for money.

 

You will be fine with a 650W psu. I would go with the SuperFlower Leadex III.

 

Those fans are expensive as well, just because they are Corsair and RGB.

Thanks for the advice, I'll do a bit more research

These fans are less expensive but good performance
