Sanity Check My New Build Please!

[Want0n]

Hi all

I've specced the following out as a new build. It has been 3 or 4 years at least since my last build. I'm aiming for something that will run any new game at 1440p at high settings, with some future proofing, or at least the potential to upgrade in a couple of years. I'm also keen to make sure I've not missed anything critical! Budget is ~ £1,000. I've tried to stick to AMD / Gigabyte to maximise compatibility, based on previous experience! I'm not convinced about the PSU. Any tips on getting the cost down would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the advice so far, it is really appreciated. Is the Kolink stuff really that bad? Or is it worth waiting for a restock of the more expensive brands?

I've swapped out the Samsung SSD for a WD Black version, saving £60 and the 3600X for the 3600, which is another £30.

On the X570, my understanding is that this would let me slot in a Ryzen 7 (or even a 9), in the future, to prolong the life of the system? I'm thinking that bigger CPU, plus a new GPU, should keep me gaming for another 4 or so years (barring any major developments)?

Thanks for the info on the fans. My tolerance for noise is relatively high - probably much more so than tinkering about and replacing fans! ; )
