£2k PC build

[MisfiTTTTT]

Looking to upgrade my now very old PC, budget is 2k but happy to go higher if people think it's worth doing so.

I don't need any peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitors) just the base unit.

I plan to use the machine primarily for gaming at 2k with a view to go 4k at some point in the future.

Aorus boards are better designed then MSI along with RMA, bios thought isn't as good .

Longer warranty on the gpu of 4 years when you register it.
The Alphacool 360mm is cheaper but out of stock ATM.
