I realised that the board I had wasn't PCI-E 5.0 so when I upgrade my GPU in the future it would limit me...
Here's the update
Case
CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5)
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF...
Thanks for all the info everyone! I have also been suckered in to the 3rd party CPU reviewed and genuinely thought Intel was still the way to go!
I've put together this revised build:

Thank you! When I get home I'll put together another build and post it in here.
Another question about motherboards, the B560 chipset is the best for gaming?
I'm clearly out of the loop with AMD vs Intel... AMD is the way to go?
You're saying it's better to have a boot drive even though I have a really fast 4TB m.2 drive going in? What's the reason for this?
In terms of the cooler, the 150 isn't worth the extra money?
Thank you for you help so far
If I can stick to around £1800 that would be great, but if I need a graphics card then I know that will take it much higher.
I use it for gaming mainly and some coding on the side
Any suggestions would be welcome!
I built my last PC around 2016 which is:
Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz
32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4 @ 1071MHz (15-15-15-36)
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. MAXIMUS VIII HERO (LGA1151)
I since added - 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (ASUStek Computer Inc)
Plan is to move...
