What do you guys think?

I will use my RTX 3700 in this, playing at 1440p only (ultra wide).

Not a fan of that board for the price, unless you want it for the colour scheme ? You can get a solid B550 board like the B550 Tomahawk for around £150.

The cpu cooler is massive overkill for a 5600X.

The airflow isn't the greatest on that case.

Why two different SSD's ?

That Asus psu is expensive. If you want it for the White cables then look at the Corsair RMx White series as an alternative.

one SSD for windows and other programs and one for storage/games.

yea colour scheme is very much the motivator here... and that also goes for the cooler i really like the looks of that kraken.

and the nzxt cases are by far my favourites looks wise...

Motherboard is not required
Case is expensive and lacks airflow
Psu is very very over priced
Cpu cooler is overkill for a 5600
Do you “need” two m2s or will a larger ssd for the bill?

overall I think by going b550 @ £100 ish
Dropping the 2nd m2 in favour of an sata ssd
Choosing a better case @ £100 ish
Cheaper cpu cooler, maybe noctua air cooler @£80
PSU try a 650 or 750w unit for about £100
I have just saved you nearly £400, you can then buy a new GPU with your savings.
