The Zotac card has a 5 year warranty; the Asus 3 years.

Is there any other differences besides warranty?

Sure turbo are blower single style design, zotac amp is 3x 80 mm fans.
Warranty goes out the window with pre-builds due to the '''whole 3 year system ' build warranty given .
Plus, last 2 years would be with zotac HK .
I'd go with zotac personally

You already have a 500GB SSD in there which is good enough for Windows and quite a few games. If you need more storage then bump the hard drive up to 2TB for an extra £21.

I would honestly take the time to learn. I didn't have a clue, didn't no a single thing about computers but from this forum and YouTube managed to learn, it's a lot easier than you may think, glad I did as I know strip it down to changes cases, change parts, even when you want to clean it out it may be easier to take things out

I had no idea what I was doing. Just finished building the one that’s in my signature.

First one I did with no help what so ever. Great feeling, build exactly how I want it. Watch a few YouTube videos. Understand that the components aren’t as fragile as you may think. Build your confidence as you go.

My next build I want to try go full watercooling.

Exactly this.
