Assuming a €2000 euro build can you let me know what monitor you plan to use? Thanks

I'd recommend a couple of tweaks here just to get a little more for your cash but knowing what monitor you plan to use would help a lot in selecting the GPU

Hi there,
This is a pretty strong start but could do with a few tweaks.

Please could you let us know your budget, any uses beyond gaming e.g streaming, editing etc, and what monitor you're pairing with this?

Please could you also slap in the config link to make it easier for us to make some edits:

I'm new to most of this is this what you mean https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/FAhqfAmp5z/ and I have an aoc 1080p 144hz monitor and my budget would be 2k and intend to just use it for gaming and everyday use thanks for any advice

This is the same price as your original spec, very slightly over your 2k budget but has all the bells and whistles.

Downgraded the CPU to the 6 core 5600x. This is still a powerhouse of a CPU and will be ample for gaming. The 5800x has slightly better performance but that doesn't really make an impact, your gaming performance won't be bottlenecked by your CPU unless you're using it alongside a monster GPU such as the 3080 or higher. This does help us a lot with bringing things down to budget as not is the 5800x over 100 euros more expensive, we would have also needed to put a better cooler in and a higher spec motherboard to support the 5800x.
Moving on to the graphics card, the 3060ti is arguably a 1440p card, but it will offer absolute top level 1080p performance, and the standard alternatives aren't in stock or aren't sufficiently cheap enough to be a viable alternative in my opinion.
Adjusted your storage slightly, with the rapid 980 pro for OS and programs, the Intel drive for games (I tend to avoid the Corsair drives because they have much lower write endurance compared to PCS's other offerings so they won't last as long), and the HDD for general storage such as photos and word docs that you'll use for your day-to-day. These are the drives in my personal PCS build and I rate them highly, but you're welcome to adjust this as you wish.
Upped your PSU to the RMx series which uses better components to run cooler, quieter and last longer. Upped to 850W as well as it's currently only 9 euros between 750 and 850, and this will make upgrading much easier in the future. To keep playing the latest titles at high settings you will need to upgrade your GPU every 3-4 years. The boosted PSU means that you will be able to switch out your GPU down the road without any issues.

And for about another 8 euro you could boost the 850W to 1000W............😁😁
