First time build ~£1000-1100

[Stephen152]

First time building and looking for any opinions on this? Roughly followed online build guides. Main use is gaming and some GIS work. Ideally I'd like to get similar performance and get the price down lower. Going with an ASUS VG248QE monitor.
Thanks!

if you can't stretch the extra £70 to get a 1070ti, then get a bog standard 1070 and you'll be in budget​

Slap on the Aorus gtx 1060 to save cash, still game above 60hz at 1080p and 4 year UK warranty​

Op has/wants a 1080 144hz monitor though, I doubt the 1060 can push that many pixels unless the settings were turned down
