First PC Build Feedback

Hey guys, I want to order my first PC and wanted to check if I can get some feedback for the specs I've chosen. I intend to use the build as a workstation. I do 3D modelling, so I'll be using Maya, ZBrush, Substance, Unreal Engine, etc. Most times I'll have two different pieces of software open at the same time. I plan to do some gaming, but it's not the focus and I'm willing to sacrifice a better gaming experience for a better work one. I'm also looking into buying a 4K monitor (feel free to give recommendations, the budget for the monitor is £400). Budget for the PC is £1800. Thanks :)

A couple of things... You're going to get more bang for your buck with an AMD processor for sure! Something like the Ryzen 3800X might be a better option and should save you a few quid so you could improve the AIO cooler.

Did you intend to not include the Operating System?

I'm not sure if the RTX 2070 Super will cut it for 4K gaming unfortunately, I guess if will depend on what sort of games you want to run?

Hmm yeah, I could even get the 3900X and I'll still be under £1800. And I have a console that I play most of my games on, so I tend to play games like LoL, Diablo 3 or racing games on PC. 4K for games is not really essential for me, I wanted to get an RTX card, so I can use real-time ray-tracing in Unreal Engine 4. And yes I did intend to leave the OS out, I already have a Windows 10 Pro key that I can use.

I'm running the 3900X here right now, It's an absolute beast at chomping through renderings in Adobe Dimension... Unfortunately i don't use Unreal engine so can't comment on the performance of the RTX 2070 Super for that.
