Looks like an awesome build. The only thing I'd change about it is the case: the Spectrum is ok as an entry-level case, but I'd suggest a better case for a build of this budget. Either the Corsair 4000D, the Corsair 220T or the Lian Li Lancool II would be fine for this build.

But an important question: what monitor will you be using?

I think its better to ask you about a monitor, so I have budget of £250 for a monitor what would you recommend?

I'd suggest you increase it to £270 and get either the AOC Q27G2U (flat) or the CQ27G2U (curved), or ideally to £300 and get the Asus Tuf VG27AQ1A. You can buy 1440p 144Hz monitors for £250, with the MSI Optix G27CQ4 probably the best bet, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Out of interest, what is wrong with the MSI G28CQ4 - bought it as my second monitor...

The G27CQ4 is fine, but it's not amazing. Partly that's about bluriness and partly about ergonomics: it's probably OK if you're mounting it, but the stand looks pretty horrid. It's not awful, but the increase in quality-of-life to the AOCs and especially the Asus is worth the small increase in price.

About the power supply, it is saying I only need a 650w instead of a 850w, should I worry about that?
