What monitor are you considering ? As that will have an impact on gpu choice.

I’m not really sure but hopefully 4K 120hz+ 

You are looking at over £2000 for one of those monitors. You would also need a 2080 ti to give you the best chance of high framerates.

Really wow ok then maybe I’ll get something 1080p with high fps

You could get a 1440p G-Sync for around £550 if that is more in your budget. If you are happy with 1080p then you could probably fit the monitor in with the £2000 budget as you wouldn't need as much gpu power, so something like a 1070 ti would be fine. And there is also the cheaper Freesync option with a Vega gpu.

Something like this if you want Intel and Nvidia. You can swap out the 1080 ti for an RTX 2080 if you want Ray Tracing support. They are a bit more expensive though so depends on how much you want to spend overall.

And what kind of performance would you expect to get out of this

The performance out of this system would be excellent a i7 and a 2080 you should easily be able to runs games at max settings at 144 fps+

No way an RTX 2080 is hitting 144Hz at 1440p in modern titles at max settings.
