Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA, Streaming, Rocket league, editing/rendering

 

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): so I actually have all the parts picked out and the peripherals don’t come under my pc budget, just need some help for some parts I could swap out to get the best performance for the same price. PS . Never built a pc before so wasn’t really sure what to go for.

Went with a 3600 so I could fit in a 2080 Super (currently the best GPU barring the unreasonably priced 2080 ti)

Feel free to swap out the case and peripherals. I recommend those because I love the smaller case, I love Cherry MX Blues, and I think the Harpoon RGB is a great, simple mouse and you don't need to spend more to get a good experience. If you DO want to spend more on a mouse, I'd save up for an MX Master 3 - probably the best mouse ever made, if the MX Master 1 is anything to judge by.

Good choices overall but I disagree with allocating under 30% of your budget to the GPU in a gaming PC where that's responsible for the bulk of the performance - within reason...

true, i gave the monitor almost no thought i pretty much picked the cheapest one with the specs he wanted from a reputable manufacturer, i shouldn't have even listed one tbh

He included it in his budget... We recommended mostly the same parts, I just dropped to a 3600 and got a 2080 super since he listed gaming before editing/rendering and managed to squeeze a 2080s... Up to OP, but I would get at least a 2070 super over the normal 2070.

That board is terrible, and the psu is really bad value for money seeing as you only get a paltry 3 year warranty. No reason not to get the Mortar MAX or wait for B550. He can afford to get a psu such as the SuperFlower Leadex III 750W with a £1500 budget.

 

The 2070 Super is also better value if going with an Nvidia gpu. Saves around £200 for only about 10% average difference in performance depending on the game.
