Planning a new build

[xMystic]

Budget (including currency): Around £800 for the time

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming at 1440p on new titles with streaming in mind too

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): I am in dire need of a CPU upgrade so along with it I want to redo a lot of my PC. I made a part list of what I thought would be good. I already have the GPU, both memory types and RAM, just want to know if this is a decent build or if not what should be changed. I know a decent amount about computers and I'm confident enough to build it myself and I will most likely be overclocking my CPU to around 5Ghz if I can get it going. Somethings I don't really know that well is about cases and fans and what are best and what extra fans I need to buy for a case(if any), along with limited knowledge of AMD, that's why I am opted for Intel along with the ease of Intel. As a side note I may upgrade to a 30 Series GPU at some point too, just not  straight away, and that is partly why my PSU is quite high Wattage. Advice would be appriciated.

9700k is overkill for a 2060 and a dead platform.

If you want intel and think you may upgrade to a 30 series card, get a 10600k.

If not get a 3600 and a B450/550 board.

A £50ish air cooler will also be plenty.

750W should be plenty for a 3080 or 3090 so I wouldn't go higher than that. (Wait and see though)
