Looks pretty good. In an ideal world I'd want a better cooler, but that will be enough for that chip purely in gaming scenarios.

I'd be inclined to double the second SSD capacity as games can quickly fill a 1TB drive.

And wow, I can't believe the price of that monitor! New 1440p budget king for certain.

Thanks,

I'm not one for installing too many games tbh, so that part should be okay for me.

Oh, is the cooler an issue? - Will I get problems with this, or should that be fine to go ahead with

The 7800X3D is a really, really efficient chip. It is fine with a modest air cooler.

That said, in a system of this budget I'd prefer a better cooler, but I can't justify suggesting you should spend £100 more on a cooler that will probably give little if any additional performance.

I see, well other than gaming I'm not doing anything else intensive as well.

So, I reckon if that Cooler can do the job, I'll go ahead with this one.

Thanks, for having a look over it
