Mainly used for gaming @ 1440 and trying to keep price as best current bang for buck but around 800ish, any advice of the components i have in the basket?

Thanks,

I haven't looked in much detail, but the Gaming X is one of Gigabyte's lower models and you can buy an Aorus at OCUK for similar money (admittedly, white), which I would expect to have superior specs.

1 X Corsair Vengeance EXPO/XMP 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C32 6400MHz Dual Channel Kit - £119.99

Not all CPUs are able to run 6400 optimally, so it is safer to go with 6000, though you could just manually lower the frequency if necessary.

1 X be quiet Pure Loop 3 240 High Performance All In One CPU Cooler - 240mm - £64.99

These CPUs can be cooled with a peerless assassin/phantom spirit if you'd prefer not to spend that much.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-03517) = £399.95
• 1 x Sapphire Nitro+ B850A WiFi 7 (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-SPR-05688) = £157.99
• 1 x PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C30 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-PNY-04563) = £109.99
• 1 x Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE Black CPU Air Cooler (SKU: COO-TLR-03291) = £33.95

Total: £709.87 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

Thanks for the input. I've added that RAM, probably still keeping the AIO cooler and the sapphire mobo is preorder, so looking for something similar in stock. I don't need WiFi, a mad overclock or a silly amount of usb's or SSD, just something that works well.

X870 will give you usb 4

£175 gets you this.
