Need help making a new build

[(Reggie_EU)]

Budget: £900 - £1000 

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: This PC will be used for programming in C# and making games in Unity as well as gaming. The games I will be playing are; Elden ring, Rust, Ark,  Diablo 4, World of Warcraft. 

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 want to be gaming at 1440p with good frame rates. My old PC had its PSU blow up and take everything with it. That build was a Ryzen 1700 and a GTX 1060 6GB. I don’t mind buying a used GPU to save some money as GPU prices are a little bit nuts. Open to any suggestions and don’t have any company preferences. I already have a CPU cooler but I need to get everything else thank you for your help

My current build is completely fried. I need to build all new. The only thing I already have is a cpu cooler

And for a first comment, don't buy that PSU GameMax is far from a reputable manufacturer

Good to know. I haven’t been in the market for a long time so what PSU’s would you recommend?

Thats the lowest I would go for the PSU, the GPU is better and for gaming the 5600 is better value in my option and it's a good match with that smaller cooler. I have the 5600 (with a little OC) paired with a 6800XT and I don't run into any bottle necks at 1440p ultrawide

Thank you. My only concern is the with the CPU. As a programmer my PC will be performing a lot of computational tasks which is why in the original parts list I had a better cpu and a worse graphics card

its quite a fast 6 core CPU, i was running quite complex simulations in Matlab on it no problem... but it you want, you can go with a 6700XT (or 6750XT) and a 5700X but the cooler might run a bit loud under load

Use the stock cooler.

Learn from mistakes, get a good PSU rather than a mediocre one with large power

And if you're in computation an Intel build would make more sense at those prices

Yes, thank you so much. I will definitely do some more research into power supplies. I have been looking at the I5 but the extra £65 feels rough. After doing some more research on it though it might be worth it. I won't be buying the parts for this PC until late May so I have some time to think it over. Glad to see most of my other choices are okay though
