1440p 144hz new build in and around £1200

U.K / £1200-1400

Hi all. I'm looking to replace my almost 6 year old PC to end off the year with some money i've put aside. This will be to play future big games coming like Cyberpunk to a decent degree, while still being able to play some older eSports-like titles up to 144hz on good settings.

I've put together a rough build below from things ive looked into and just wanted a quick check from a few fresh pairs of eyes to see if all looks good. My budget is £1200 but have a loose 100 I could go above as sort of a stretch spend. Looking to stick with a Nvidia GFX card out of preference. Also wondering if 3200 sufficient on RAM for an AMD CPU, or should I go up to 3600?

Oh and I'm UK based.

Looks good to me but if you want to save some money don't go with the corsair AIO and get something like a dark Rock 4 air cooler. But the rest is totally fine :)

Agreed.

Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.

I've only ever used stock cooling previously but looking for something a bit more effective this time around. Is having an AIO mainly as aesthetic thing in this sort of build? As i'm assuming the dark rock would achieve good temps/noise reduction also?

Very good build, ram is ok. 3600 would be 2-3 more fps in most games, but it's probably not worth the price. 3200 is the sweet spot for ryzen, as far as I know.

I thought it depends on the cl rating of the ram also?
