AM5 Build gaming only

Hello,

Currently have a AOC 1080p 144hz gaming monitor, but looking to obtain a 1440p as soon as availability is better. Cannot find a 1440p at good price, and when i do, out of stock. So patience is not my game.
This build I am hoping that i can upgrade in the future as well as upgrading the gpu.

Most games I will be playing are fps and some strategy games. I am more a mature gamer who likes Hunt showdown and Hell let loose etc, but do venture into other games. So eventually with a better display I wont be looking for all the bells and whistles, so long as the fps is great and smooth. I am currently on console but sadly games or lack of on console dont suit me. I constantly see games I would like to play. I used to PC game a long time ago, so this is a big step up for me, hence why I have kept away from AM4 as I dont see future upgrade paths. Of course I would prefer a £1500 AM5 build, but I know this is not going to happen with current market pricing. I have picked this AMD GPU cause of the 12gb vram. I am keeping away from Nvidia due to research online as their price to performance dosent make sense. So all red.

I have all mouse and keyboard.

Any improvements are welcome, budget around £2000.
Not to sure about CPU coolers so picked the one below. Prefer the fan liquid cooling all the same.

Thank you in advance gentleman

Looks really really really good

I'd say you've massively overkilled on the CPU cooler, which isn't always a bad thing but the H100i could save you a few £ and do the job just fine. It's a very efficient CPU for it's power or if you wanted reassurance the H115i is a little cheaper and almost the same performance as the H150i

Other than that very good effort mate looks a ridiculous build

Thanks Steve.

In regards to the cooler, which H100i are you referring to?

Any of the H100i 's would do the trick not the H100x which is an older design and pump. Personally I'd recommend the H100i Elite Capellix version

Just noticing there are new XL versions that are quite expensive. This would be perfect though and cheaper than your current pick
