Feedback on pcbuild

Budget (including currency): 2000-2500£ Depends on whether it’s worth spending more for a little better spec or if I’m missing anything important 

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: editing, streaming, coding and First Person Shooters or any other game I felt like buying, web surfing. Most likely I would have both the game and streaming applications open at the same time

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’m mostly upgrading from a laptop and screens and stuff like that are something that can be outside that budget.

Here’s the link to the pc I built on PCPartPicker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V2sR2m

 

Im new to building and would like to know if the specs I chose were good enough or if there are better choices on the same range and if I’m missing anything that should be bought to build the pc.

It's not terrible, but you can do better: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/n2ZwNc

1. The cooler is similar performance but 30 pounds less. 
2. The motherboard is a bit more feature rich with a better VRM for not much more, though you will need to do a BIOS update through BIOS flashback (not difficult, though a little annoying). 
3. Faster RAM for the same price.
4. Saved a bit of money on the SSD since you don't really need that fast an SSD for what you're doing. 
5. Cheaper case with better airflow that will therefore lead to lower component temps. 
6. Spent the savings on a GPU upgrade to a 7900 XTX. 
7. Ditched the Windows key, buy one from a key reseller for ~$20 instead.

What is your monitor resolution?

[Why_Me]

Games take advantage of low latency RAM .. the lower the latency the better. I threw in a better case and gpu. btw all the boards these days come with M.2 heatsinks so skip that SSD w/heatsink.

Locked 12 gen i7 vs the unlocked 12 gen i7. The difference is one frame per second on average. I doubt it's any different with the 13 gen i7's.

A better board than what I posted up above .. yet it doesn't show up on PC Parkpicker is this board down below. It offers better VRM's and more PCIe lanes which allows you to run dual M.2 SSD's in the future. Just swap out that board I posted with this one.

Thank you both so much ^^ I will take into consideration both the suggestions and mix and match from each one.

Thanks again for helping me
