Why Intel CPU only? AMD's new 3000 CPUs are cracking quality and pound to performance.
EDIT: Something like this would be spot on for you. Obviously case is entirely your own preference, I just chucked in a reasonably well priced and well reviewed one.
You could shave £60 if you was confident enough to bios flash a B450 board pre-build, but considering your budget you may as well just get the latest X570 chipset and save yourself the hassle.

i believe intel is more reliable..

On the basis of what? That's absolute rubbish 
AMD and Intel both make great CPU's. But right now AMD will give you more for your money.
That aside, no idea where reliability comes into it tbh. Never heard of CPUs just 'dying'...

What is the make/model of your monitor?
Do you have plans to stream?
Your budget would accommodate a 9700K build (wouldn't be my choice) but Ryzen is the best all round performance choice, and for your budget you could be sat on a 3700X coupled with a decent warranty 2070 super (@Sparx - demonstrates what you get for the bottom end of your budget well - the 3600 being a mighty bang for buck CPU).

got Acer XB271HUA 27 g sync
i might want to stream in the future so will keep that option open
i think i will go with sparx build but dont i need a bit more power than 650w? maybe 750w?
and id still be lift with some money so spend on memory?
No, a quality 650W is fine - the Seasonic Focus is £10 more but comes with a 10 year warranty. And 16Gb is plenty for gaming - you would be better served putting the extra ~£85 towards the 3700X (8c/16t).

If you want to future proof more, as @Plec mentions go for the 3700X CPU instead for the extra cores.
PSU wise - the extra warranty is nice for the sake of £5 and Seasonic equally make great PSUs like Superflower - this is the one Plec highlighted.
