So im finally back again, i got my old pc from here a good 6 years ago and it was great, had to downgrade to a laptop for last 3 years but now im getting my own home i have space for a full PC. hopefully have the house by next week so ill be ordering in the next 2 weeks ish.
I generally play alot of different games such as WoW, CoD, division 2, 'flash games', Civ 6, overwatch, starcraft 2, etc, etc and im a stickler for graphics but no so much FPS (laptop struggles to do 40+ atm). im not looking into going 4K but want 1440p (more on that later). i am also doing light digital work (krita) and possibly looking into game development (basic flash type game).
I am looking at around £2k on the PC and want it to last possibly 3 years on high/ultra settings before i have to start reducing settings or upgrade.

Reasons for things:
Case - im open to options doesnt have to be silent but dont want a jet engine, its also inside a desk so i dont need fancy RBG lights, but want good cooling. (the desk will surround the case completly with only front, back and some holes in the side of the desk i drilled).
Processor - only ever had 1 AMD based system and i only ever had problems with it so im staying with intel (im aware of the prices atm).
Mobo - open to suggestions dont need RBG or wireless.
Memory - the cost differences are so small i may aswell go best.
GFX card - was origionally going 2070 but after research and talking with friends the 2080 seems better choice for me.
Storage - internet where i live sucks so i need lots of space to store games so im not forever uninstalling and downloading.
Proc cooler - i was told this cooler was amazing so i went with it, not really interested in watercooling unless its safe and no maintenance.
Sound card + speakers - i cant wear headphones so all my quality will be from these, im open to any options or suggestions on these.
Keyboard and mouse - again just after some new equipment open to suggestions.
Delivery time - because of my work schedule this is a must.
now onto the screens, im wanting to move into 1440p and 144hz (2K?) im willing to spend up to £800 on 2 screens (same or variation) and would like some suggestions on what to pick, the MAIN thing i want is them to look similar as in the screen itself not the display so not different heights or shapes if this is possible.
my limit overall is around £3k for everything so if it needs moving around or i can save money somewhere thats great (im not fussed about saving £4 on something). Phew i think ive got all the info needed in there (ive stalked the forums enough to know).
Thanks in advance guys i know ill get the best advice here.
