No, don't buy that. I'm not sure what it is you want, but that PC isn't the right one for any situation.

What is the PC for? What monitor do you use? What's your budget?

The PC is for intensive gaming and work, budget is £2000
Already have a monitor that is 144hz and 1440p but might get a 4k one.

What kind of work? Also, what kind of games?

It would be sensible to choose a monitor before you design a PC, as you want the monitor and the graphics card (and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the system) to be a good match.

Video editing and for games I want to run games like cyberpunk 2077 with max graphics and I also want to futureproof it a bit and have good performance for upcoming games like GTA 6.
I've been looking for a monitor recently but if you have any suggesstions for some, I'll look into buying one along with the PC.

It sounds like you want a "have it all" machine: the ultimate for gaming and video production, and futureproof, and to get the highest settings at the highest gaming resolutions! Sadly, that isn't possible for £2000. You'll have to end up making some compromises.

I would stick with 1440p. Going higher will be harder/more expensive to get a PC to run. Realistically, you probably aren't getting a 16-core CPU either (if you want good graphics), even though that would be the ideal for video editing. Unless it's professional work, I'd stick with an eight-core chip. I would suggest you also need to look at the memory, the storage, and the power supply. And, finally, with the graphics card, I'd want to wait for the release of the 50-series Nvidia chips in a few weeks, because I expect the 5070 Ti will be the ideal one for you. If you can, I would strongly urge waiting to purchase a system.

I hear that, so without thinking about video editing and primarily just for gaming, do you know like a rough build of what I should get for 1440p assuming that I wait for the 5070ti to drop.
Btw would the 5070ti be available on here as soon as it releases?

A 5090 is likely to cost the better part of £2k by itself, so I doubt you'll be getting one of those on this budget. But yes, the 50-series cards will be on PCSpecialist at launch. I would suggest the 5070 Ti is likely to be your best bet.

Here's the PC I'd probably go for, but it depends on pricing of the graphics card and what you're actually willing to spend.

I guess you're coming from console too, be aware "max graphics" isn't a thing on PC, you have to become familiar with optimising any graphics settings on modern games.

There are a multitude of settings which by reducing slightly doesn't affect graphical quality in the slightest, yet HUGELY increases performance.
