Hi, I am looking to enter the realm of 1440p gaming and need some advice to whether my pc will handle it and if not what additions i should get. Overall I did not want to spend more than around £500 if i can get away with it.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 Quad Core 1500X 3.70GHz
GPU: Radeon RX 580 8gb
Motherboard: ASRock AB350M
memory: Corsair Vengence DDR4 16gb 3000mhz
storage: WD Black PCIe NVMe 256GB SSD
Storage 2: Samsung 500gb ssd
monitor: Acer KG251Qbmiix
PSU: EVGA 500W 80 Plus Power Supply

This is what i had in mind for the CPU and GPU:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £500.48 (includes shipping: £10.50)

I was looking at maybe putting a bit more into the GPU and going for a 5700 but ive heard they can be really noisy?

I'm not sure if 32gb of RAM is needed but if i had to I would need to upgrade the motherboard too unless i wanted to buy 2 x 16gb kit.

would also need a new monitor: I was thinking of getting this when it comes back in stock
