Let me know what you think or what I should change
 
£2.8K and only a GTX 1660Ti. How does that even happen? You'd want at least a RTX 2070 Super or 5700XT for that monitor and budget.
 
If you have that budget to spend on a PC then get someone to spec you one on here... You'll get better for your money and if you build it yourself youll save build costs
 
Are OC the best place to get everything from or split between 'competitor' etc?
quick heads up - best not to mention competitors when discussing pc parts. that company can be named when talking about coffee machines (for example) but not pc parts. best edit them out in this instance and have a gander at the forum rules.
