I think you could have got a much more balanced build for your money, also more power mate. You could also build a base that would be better suited to handle upgrades and therefore last much longer. I'll put together a £1300 build to show you what you could be looking at

This would be a current gen system that offers better balance but more importantly is a newer platform with enough room for upgrades going into the future

Much better... in balance, power and longevity.

Only thing I'd add (and I say this to all ppl going for what they can rn) is adding/saving another £200 could upgrade the 1660S, not far off a 2060 anyway, to a significantly better 3060ti which would kick butt for longer, especially as OP is planning to upgrade his monitor soonish.

Aside from that, nice add of squeezing the m.2's in there, I haven't gamed without a similar storage config (256/500Gb OS and apps and 1Tb gaming) for 5 years now and it's paid for itself easily. Even lower tier m.2's are way better than SATA SSD's aso.

The 3060Ti I think is the best value for money card on the market at the minute, you get solid 1440p performance from it for a great price compared the other 1440p cards.

The biggest issue is the fact that so few of them seem to exist. It's damn near impossible to get one so it becomes hard to recommend for that fact alone

That's why these days I normally spec a 6700XT for 1440 builds

Looks like a great build here from @Steveyg Although I'd question the V200 case, from memory it's basically got a sheet of plastic over the fans with a tiny slit in the side for airflow so cooling wouldn't be the best, especially as you upgrade to parts that require more air over time. I'd encourage a little extra spend to get the Corsair 220T or Cooler Master TD500 both for £13 more. Alternatively, if you're really penny pinching the PCS Spectrum RGB, it's got a full mesh front and 3 ARGB fans included so will be good for airflow. That said, some owners have reported the fans to be a bit loud for their liking but I personally think it's a great case for the money.

Yeah I was reluctant on the case to be honest, the Corsair 4000D is my go to for budget builds but it seems like it's out of stock so I wasn't sure what else to go for in that price range. The CM TD500 was the one that caught my eye as well (Although I think it's a hideous case)

I'm generally a fan of the TD500 mesh but I find the creases in the side panel very odd I must admit.
