Hello good day, I am planning to use it for gaming and as an all-purpose desktop. I already bought the rig but I am planning to upgrade it around September this year. I am using an Acer Predator XB281HK as a monitor. The components that I am planning to upgrade are the ones you mentioned above and maybe a better GPU. Is my cooling system good or do I need to upgrade it also as I am planning to upgrade my GPU to RTX 2080 super? Thank you for your output.

I already bought the rig but I am planning to upgrade it around September this year.
This gets me every time.

Buying a PC that you are already planning to upgrade the same year is almost universally a giant waste of cash.

Where is the value in buying 1 x 16gb RAM, and then replacing it with 2 x 8gb faster RAM, when you could just buy 2 x 8gb fast RAM outright.
Why buy a £300 GPU when plenty faster are available, only to replace it later in the year? Why buy a £300 GPU for 4k gaming in the first place?
Why buy expensive hardware with a small and cheap PSU which you'll want to replace for a GPU upgrade, when you could have bought a slightly larger PSU for £5 more to begin with?

All the while buying a locked i7 for a high end motherboard, whose features you're not even in a position to be able to use?

besides which an AMD R5 3600 would perform the same as an i7 9700 at 4k, but is much cheaper, helping fund the better GPU.

And you're looking to stuff all this 4k gaming equipment into a cheap case with limited airflow. Perhaps one of the upgrades will be to add moar fans! except that fans can't do anything against tiny air holes.

You say you've already bought it. Cancel the order :) If you're received it and are still within the returns window, contact PCS to cancel the order and return it immediately.

If there's any way you can get rid of that spec and get your money back, you should do so straight away. You are shooting yourself in the foot with this PC big time.

And for upgrades you could add more storage, which has 0 waste because instead of replacing things, you're just adding them.
