What’s your max budget?

What make and model monitor are you pairing it with?

Can you include the configurable link at the bottom of the quote?

Why not go with a nice AMD system that, unlike INTEL, allows for future upgrades? :)

Something along those lines (overkill on PSU and cooler though but it's what I like :LOL:).
You can also swap to faster M.2s if you want, but in game it doesn't make that much difference.

i went with intel mainly cause its what i know I've never really used AMD products before, and is there much difference between 32gb of RAM and 64gb when it comes to gaming or does it mainly rely on the VRAM from graphics card? Also for the M.2 was the one i chose not faster?

32GB of RAM are more than enough for every game.
VRAM is obviously more important but it's basically related to the resolution: low res need much less VRAM than a 4K or a VR.
Yes, they are but gaming don't take so much advantage of very high sequential read/write speeds: they're very important on UE5 game development, huge database processing and other productivity tasks.

The 7800X3D outperforms the 7700X at 1440p gaming by 10-15% while being roughly the same in productivity.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Review - The Best Gaming CPU

AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D is everything that gamers want: eight fast cores, in a single CCD, with 3D VCache stacked on top at a price point of $450. In our review we can confirm that 7800X3D is indeed the fastest gaming CPU available, beating Intel's 13900K and even the 7950X3D.

Personally, I wouldn't spend an extra 100-120 pounds to have 240fps instead of 215fps, but it's your choice. :)

Lancool 215 or 4000D (notice that 4000D comes with just two fans installed out of the box).

Anyway the above build is already under 2000£ (1964£) so I don't see why you should go cheaper on the case. :)

Probably it's not the best Lian Li ever but the 215 is a good budget case and one of the best available for £60.
