Is this good for 1440p gaming?

[dontknowwhattoputhere]

I've already made a similar post but I realised I have a bit more budget so I've swapped around some of the parts - I'd just like someone to have a look over. Thanks

Budget (including currency): £1100 for PC and around £350 for the monitor. I can go a little bit over if necessary

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming (BF1, RDO, BO3), some Quest 2 VR games and some emulation.

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've included the 1440p monitor I'm looking at, I already have a 1080p which I'm planning on using as a secondary monitor. I already have keyboard, mouse etc.

I wanted a white/pink thing but there's no point in spending much extra money for it.

Yes that looks pretty good. 

I'd maybe check for the 5600X instead as you don't have to bother overclocking or whatever (depending on the upcharge ofc). 

And there is a newer model of that Monitor called the M27QP iirc and that has a better subpixel layout for clearer text. 

 

I am not sure about the CPU cooler and PSU (please check the PSU tier list here on the forum) but rest looks good to me.

Hmm, there's quite an imbalance between the CPU and the GPU, you might have a noticeable bottleneck in some games on 1440p.

I might be able to do a bit better, but I haven't created a build on the UK Partpicker in a long time.

Let me give it a go, I'll report back in a couple minutes.

Maybe something like this?

5700X, 32GB RAM, ...

 

I thought I could build around a Ryzen 7600 or Ryzen 5800X3D and go with a Radeon 6800, but it turns out that the 6800 isn't even 40GBP cheaper.

Makes no sense to go with a 6800 when the 6800XT costs just a tiny bit more.

 

I could set it with a stronger/newer platform, but the GPU would have to be a Radeon 6700XT or 6750XT. 

 

How about building a strong gaming platform with a mid-range GPU and then upgrading the GPU in about 2 years?

Or is there a chance to increase the budget by, let's say, 150-200GBP? That would allow for a newer platform...

Do you mean AM5? From what I've seen its pretty expensive for not much benefit right now, but I don't mind paying a bit more if its worth it in the long term.

1450 with monitor. Also, AMD GPU isnt that great for VR still, the stutter issue is still very prominent on a lot of title.

You can cost compress this to the 1450 with 5600, but 5800X3D can stand its weight in gaming against 13600K and 7600, id consider keeping it in with the overbudget.

No.  You don't even have to OC the 5600.  It'll boost very well on it's own.
