Newbie building a new gaming PC - 7800X3D and RTX 4070 SUPER

Hi,

I have zero clue about parts, but I'm building a new PC, since my current setup is very outdated and I feel like upgrading.
The PC is for gaming, specifically thinking of Space Marine 2.
I don't have a specific budget in mind, just trying to pick sensible parts without too much overkill.

Here's how I'm looking right now:

• Case - CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW (the only part of my current build I'm keeping)
• Mobo - Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus WIFI (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...ocket-am5-ddr5-atx-motherboard-mb-6k0-as.html)
• CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-...hz-socket-am5-processor-retail-cp-3dt-am.html)
• GPU - Asus GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Dual (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...-pci-express-graphics-card-gra-asu-01517.html)
• RAM - Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...00c30-6000mhz-dual-channel-mem-crs-01124.html)
• Disc 1 - Crucial T500 500GB NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cruc...gen4-m.2-solid-state-drive-sto-cru-01088.html)
• Disc 2 - Samsung 990 Evo 2TB M.2 2280 PCI-e 4.0 / 5.0 Hybrid (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sams...rid-nvme-solid-state-drive-sto-sam-01533.html)
• PSU - Phanteks AMP GH 1000W 80PLUS (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phan...power-supply-modular-black-pow-phk-02521.html)
• Cooler - EK Water Blocks EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-w...ll-in-one-cpu-water-cooler-360-hs-016-ek.html)

The above is £1,720 (I was initially thinking of a budget closer to £1.5k to be honest).

I'm really unsure about the RAM, Discs, PSU and Cooler.
RAM I found myself, but Discs, PSU and Cooler were advised by Overclockers support.
I also picked my GPU, and I'm really unsure if that's the right model for me.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

What do you guys think about the power supply and cooler?

Any chance you know if there's usually a long wait on pre-ordered items? I can't find any info about when would these dispatch so unsure if it's days, weeks, or months.

I've got 1080p monitor right now, but might change to a higher resolution in the long run.

Thank you everyone for all the valuable advice!

I'm ordering everything but the SDD, as I'm still making sure that the advised WD Black SN770 1TB and 2TB are the best choice for me.
