Is still in pre-production. At the moment I have an MSI optix g27c4 curved but I am planning to get 1 more monitor for 32 inch at 240 Hz. All for the sake of gaming

What monitor are you pairing it with, what resolution and refresh rate or make and model if you’re unsure?
MSI optix g27c4 curved for the moment at 165Hz, 1080P. Will plan in getting a 32” at 240 Hz in the near future. Like mentioned before I am planning on using it for gaming mostly.

Is there a particular reason why you are getting another 1080p high refresh monitor as opposed to making the jump to 1440p? Just wondering as it will make a difference to the advice as we would ordinarily recommend going up to 1440p level as it is so much better but if you are a competitive gamer who isn't bothered by graphical quality, then it's understandable

What is your maximum budget?
My next monitor is going to be 1440p for sure which will plan to buy it within the next 2 months but in the meanwhile I will be using the MSI at 1080p. My maximum budget is £3200 where I wish to have an RTX 2080ti.
With my spec I was a bit unsure about the 650w power supply. Do you think it will be enough?

So is this build ok? Do I need a bigger power supply? Is there anything that you would change in this spec?

I think it does need some changes yes, but im not knowledgeable enough to tell you exactly. If no one replies tomorrow you could try posting in the "check my spec" forum

Well, I really have no clue what is needed for 1440p 240Hz so there is not much point me speculating as the spec may be completely off. But, beyond the basic system, I'd be changing the Hard drives (specifically the Intel one), the RAM, Cooler, Sound card, Anti-virus, warranty and PSU. But, until the core system is determined as being okay, it's pointless changing other things

Nursemorph is it possible to guide me on what I should change them with, please? I have the URL to reconfigure the spec in my first post
