Given you only intend to game have you considered an AMD build with an X3D chip?

what's the 2tb spinning disk for? you could grab a 2tb sata SSD for not much more or just go full M.2
why 64gb of ram if you only game and why CL45... grab a good 32gb 6000mhz CL30 kit for £100
14th gen intel is fantastic but i would still grab a 7800x3d
2tb SSD the P3 Plus is a little faster and cheaper

i would buy that

the only thing i would change is buy a single 2tb SSD, you can add more latter if needed..
take that £200 and swap the 4070 ti Super, for a 4080 Super.
