Hey,

Here is the full build, I didn't think that the windows 10 operating system, sound card, anti-virus etc were particularly relevant.

Also I will be using it for gaming primarily. For a monitor I'm still looking at what would be best but I'm looking at 1440p 144hz. I don't really have a budget to be honest, though I'd rather not spend ridiculous amounts of money. For example, I could quite comfortably afford a 3090 but I don't really feel the need to buy one. If upgrading my RAM would improve things substantially then I could do that however

Wow thanks for the suggestions, I do have a query around the 5800x though, I looked at some benchmarks and I thought that the 5800x ran hotter than the 5600x which has been leading to poorer framerates? Also, a few people that I spoke to about my build told me that the Noctua air cooler outperforms a lot of the liquid coolers but I don't know much about that at all really so I could be wrong
