After 6ish years of gaming on the Optimus V (still no sign of dying), I have decided to upgrade. Since I have the space for a Gaming PC now and the disposable income to support it, I'm looking at ultra settings on a 1440p/144hz/gsync monitor (to be purchased, recommendations welcome, 27inch) with 60+ fps. Ultimately I would want this rig to max Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p 60+fps, though I'm aware that the requirements haven't been released yet. My budget is around £2000 + £400 for monitor, though obviously the lower the better but if justified I'm willing to stretch the budget. I have peripherals, so only monitor and pc needed.

This will be my first pc, so forgive me if I'm making some glaring mistakes in terms of balance or actually needing certain components. I chose the case because it looked sweet, not sure if it has sufficient cooling or space for the spec selected. I know that AMD's new crop of CPU's is all the rage because it beats intel on price and sometimes perfomance (does it in this case?), but that's where my knowledge ends. Will this CPU bottleneck the 2080 Super on graphically intensive games? Motherboard I just went with standard, no idea there. 16GB of high speed ram, again not sure if overkill. I chose the RTX 2080 Super because according to reviews it will be sufficient for 1440p gaming, but can I max graphically demanding games like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and hopefully Cyberpunk 2077 and the like (to give some examples) with 60fps+? M.2 ssd because it's faster, 2TB to suit all my needs (games,media,programs). Power supply: the selector said I should go with 550w, then went for the better rated one. Cooling wise I prefer none liquid cooling, I don't think I need it, however for longevity's sake as well as temps and noise I added a decent looking cooler. Unfortunately I won't be able to connect my pc via lan (trust me), I have a Asus RT AC68U AC1900 router with 200mb~ fibre optic, hence the AC1900 wireless card. I know that my current total comes to over £2k, it was literally just a mock up to be fine tuned. I have the patience to wait up to a couple of months if there are components to be released that would or should be considered. If not I'm likely to buy it rather soon. I have an eye on future proofing the rig, if there are any obvious inclusions I would be grateful for the advice.
Thank you in advance for your advice and help
