Apologies.

Maximum budget 2,400 - 2,500 for the PC and roughly 400 for a monitor. I don't do any streaming, the system will be used for gaming (mainly AAA titles) at the highest FPS possible on a 27-32' monitor. I was thinking of picking up the Dell S2719DGF but maybe there's something better within budget. I'm not too fussed on ultrawide /curved but open to either.

Edit - sorry I meant to say at 1440p.

The 3080 is overpowered for 1440p 144hz, for a suitable monitor to pair with it you'd need around £1000 for something half decent.

If sticking with 1440p, then drop the GPU to the 3070

Thank you, much appreciated.

In terms of cases what is the 500d like for airflow etc? I've only picked it based on looks but if it's not ideal I'd swap for something else.

Quite literally one of the best not just for airflow but also design.. it’s a superb case!

Just out of interest, does anyone have any idea what the current wait times are if ordering a build with a 3080? And, presumably it won't be sent without the GPU.

No one in the world knows as stocks are being sent as and when they’re available for every supplier worldwide.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if anyone had ordered one in a build and received any likely dates but I understand how these things are.

It’s really a massive mess up by nvidia, and they haven’t been at all transparent about stock availability to any of their partners.
