I dont have a budget for my new computer and just after the best i can get if being honest. I dont do anything special on desktop just like to get a new top of the range computer ever few years.

Anyone advise on the questions i asked ?

The reason why I asked your intended use is because just for gaming it is overkill. By nothing special I assume gaming and home use then 32gb is unnecessary as well as the cpu and motherboard.
-better components? it depends on what your intended use is. Next generation of CPUs is due next year (I think)
-the case is a great choice, plenty of positive reviews
-gaming? photography?

Thanks for the response,

I really buy a new top of the range computer every few years because i want it to really last i know everything i am proposing is overkill for the time being but in 4 years time? maybe not. ive got the money now and like to spend it on these things - sounds mad to most im sure.

I do a bit of photo editing and use to heavily game but as much these days getting old ;)

Anyone have experience with the Screens?

thanks again

I understand you want to futureproof but as a suggestion I would spend half the money and upgrade in 2 years time rather than 4. I don't think it is cost effective to choose the most expensive components if you are not going to benefit from them. Unless you do huge video/photo editing for a living the cpu and RAM are really unnecessary. Regarding your monitor I would try to look for reviews online perhaps amazon.
