Case is lovely the view 31 will save you £100 and if you can install windows yourself money coild be put elsewhere.

Alpenfohn make great coolers but your getting corsair rgb ram so mite be better going corsair.

Motherboard is budget end.

500gb m2 is that enough ? Modern Games take a lot of space.

Personally I think that's a lot to spend for just a 3070 and for a £2500 PC I'd atleast want a 3080.

I completely understand mate and I had a config on another site for 2577 with rtx 3080, but then i realised its due to stock in september (might get it earlier somewhere but i dont want to wait anymore) but to get a proper use of 3080 i would need a g9 monitor and they priced around 1000£ i guess it would be massive overkill for 1440p gaming, I am looking to pair it with g7 or legion y20 27 ips

I wouldn't say a 3080 is overkill for 1440P as some of the new AAA titles still struggle to get much more than 80fps especially if you turn on raytracing.
 
i know i could get a 3080 for this price mate, but i dont see much difference in 1440 gaming, aaa games are still not optimised properly, and as i said if i would go for 3080 which i wish but eta is in september or pay 1500 thats a no no for me, + i would need to get better monitor to squeeze that 3080. 3070 in my build was in stock so im waiting for updates

3080s are in stock right now ok you would probably need to make some cuts elsewhere to stay in budget like the 5800X to 5600X and a cheaper cooler + installing Windows yourself but you would still end up with more gaming performance.

little bit more ! but 5800x vs 5600x above - little bit more future proof as some up coming games are pitching 8 core intel and AMD CPUs !
Ram is also 3600hz vs 3200hz
