Advice on build for data science / machine learning

Hi guys,

I would like to ask for your help in reviewing my build for a work desktop PC that will primarily be used for data science tasks and machine learning.
I have not been in the market for a desktop system for many years, so I have lost touch a bit but did my best to read up on the latest tech and current market situation.

I will run Linux on this machine and even though I am not happy about going with NVIDIA vs AMD for a GPU, the requirement to run python ML libraries such as pytorch with CUDA do not leave me with a different choice as AMD's ROCm is - to my knowledge - just not there yet.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or recommendations in regard to the below build. The max budget is what it is currently (~2000GBP).

Thank you very much for your valued support and input!
