When are you thinking of getting a new monitor and what budget do you have for it?

In that case there's no point in provisioning for a monitor you will have at some point in the future as by then there will be newer GPU's at cheaper prices with newer technologies. By then also 1440p 144Hz monitors will be cheaper as £200 isn't a lot for a quality monitor, for any modern build 1440p 144Hz is really the minimum to aim for. GPU's are mainly steering towards the higher resolutions these days.

You could reduce the cooler to an H100i, there's no need for the H115 on that processor.

Drop the thermal paste to the normal as the cooler comes with it's own high quality paste.

I'd look to increase the size of the M2 to 500Gb, you'll struggle with anything under that.

Increase the wifi card to the next one up, it's not very expensive but modern connectivity whereas the one you've selected is limited to N speeds.

I would suggest a better case as well, perhaps the Corsair 275i
