The 1440p 144Hz would also point you towards a 3060 or 3070 (3060 standard, 3070 ultrawide, 3080 super ultrawide as a rough idea of how they line up so a 3070 would be a "premium"pick for a regular 27" 1440p 144Hz monitor)

Have you looked at what actual size monitor you want, or have a rough idea which models?
When you say the old one is dead...is anything worth/able to be saved? What about Windows?
Vareity of ways to save on a new licence for Windows, and if you have any drives or anything that could be moved across....
With a £1100 budget on the build (excluding GPU) it would be wise to look for some ways to help save a bit on cost.

Case
PCS P209 RGB MID TOWER CASE The PCS cases are all a bit on the poor side, would not recommend taking this case
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Eight Core CPU (3.9GHz-4.5GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Given budget, and assuming use is for gaming, i would look at the 3600 models, also given the motherboard youve picked the high end CPU's arent going to perform as well as they could
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF GAMING B550-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.2, 6Gb/s) - ARGB Ready! Would strongly recommend a 570 motherboard if staying with the 3800X, although a 550 will still allow a reasonable amount of upgrades later just not as much as the 570X is likely to.
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB) Would recommend 3600MHz to get the best out of the CPU
Graphics Card

1st Storage Drive
1TB Samsung 870 QVO 2.5" SSD, SATA 6Gb/s (up to 560MB/sR | 530MB/sW)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
500GB SEAGATE FIRECUDA 520 GEN 4 PCIe NVMe (up to 5000MB/R, 2500MB/W) 500GB Samsung 970 evo is better, only 1TB or more and the Firecuda is a step up compared to the samsung ones

CORSAIR 750W TXm SERIES™ SEMI-MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling
CoolerMaster MasterLiquid Lite 120 High Performance Liquid Cooler Given the CPU youve picked..I would say the H100i Plat is far more suited

Theres a fair bit of mis-matched/unbalanced components going on, I think you'll want a mod to properly pick it apart and try to see if something is possible. Would not order it as it currently is...

Thanks for the feed back i can probabaly stretch to 1200 so i have taken your advice and have come up with this. I will probably opt for the 3070 as i will get an unltra wide 1440p moniter. My old pc is totally dead, the harddrive is shot and there is no other way to transfer my windows licience.

Was it Win 10 and did you use a Microsoft login or a local profile when you logged in?

I just used my pin to get in, I think it was originally Windows 8 but upgraded to 10

Then yes, highly likely you can switch it across to the new build.
Try going to microsoft.com and see if you can log in. It will show you there if the win 10 licence is digitally done (which I think they all are if you upgraded? I know mine was)

Cheers thank you I will do that that saves me some money. Any thoughts on the new build? Is this better balanced? Or needs a few more tweaks?
