Hi
I'm replacing my dated 2012 build some time in the near future, here's my projected build 1.0.
I'm probably going to go all AMD just based on value for money and cheaper Freesync, I'm open to alternatives though. And open to any suggestions on components. I'd like to OC a bit if necessary, but not to extremes. I've already got plenty of storage. I'm keeping my old Benq 24" for a 2nd screen. I play everything from FPS and FIFA, to EUIV and old modded Rome titles, to RPG's.
Bundle: This just seemed to make financial sense.

£586.97
Cooler: Bought a recon Corsair H100i from here in 2013 IIRC and it's been flawless. It's staying in old system given to my brother.

£104.99
Case: I looked at the Evolve X but i'd read the airflow wasn't great and at just over £210 that's the absolute limit for me.

PSU: Not really sure what I need here, looking for best blend of quality/noise/cost. I have a tendency to go OTT with PSU's!

£169.99
GPU: Self-explanatory.

£449.99
Monitor: Here's where I'm really clueless, i've an idea to go 27" and 1440p? Not bothered about 4K. Heard TN is a bit old hat now. I'm open to curved etc

£449.99
Total: £1638.94
I'll need a nice mech keyboard/gaming mouse combo. I've used a Corsair K70 I think? - 2012 vintage, and it's been very good but it's tatty and grubby now though after numerous tea accidents, and i'm going to retire my amazing 10 year old MX518.
Suggestions?
Thanks.
