New build for summer! 1000-800 GBP

Budget (including currency): 1000-800, GBP

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Hardest hitting game I will play on this system is Microsoft Flight Simulator + Addons 

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): 

 

Haven't built a PC in a little over 5 years, and haven't kept up-to date with current hardware; any help would be much appreciated! I am open to buying off of the used market, if that means I am able to get some extra performance. I do have a 1440p monitor @ 60Hz.

What do you currently have?  A lot of 2019ish CPUs are still more than capable of running with a new GPU at 1440p60.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.

7700 + 3080 + 32gb 6000c32

 

used 3080 are around 350£ and used 6800xt are 350-400£ last time i checked uk fb marketplace

 

even though the psu doesnt have a 10 year warranty it is 30£ cheaper than one which does (c750 gold) though it still has a 7 year warranty and its even 80+ gold so for the price cut id say its acceptable

Custom: 7500F (£112.00)

i was also gonna reccomend a 12600kf based build but with the existence if these cheap 7500f 12th gen becomes basically irrelevant when its almost 50£ cheaper compared to the 12600kf which covers the ram cost going to ddr5 not to mention the b650m hdv is 101£ and is alot better (i/o, vrms, ram oc, upgradability) than whatever garbage intel boards are available at this price

 

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/wwx9dH

heres what itd look like factoring in cooler and heres where you buy em

 

i mean if you want to you can fit a 7900 gre in (515£) though i dont think youll see that big of a performance uplift relative to how much extra you are paying so imo just save the money
