Have a read of that especially the amd vs intel thread and let us know your max budget also could your include the config link and the full spec like in the image below

To comment on your spec the 3080 is wasted on a 1440p 144hz monitor a 3070 or 3070ti is better suited your storage is pritty slow for this day and age and any intel cpu compared to the new amd line up just cant compete intel have been blown out the water this time round !!!!! If you could let us know your budget someone would be happy to spec a amd build for you to consider

Sorry guys new here!

My budget is about £2000 I know I've gone over it a bit with the build below but can't really go any more than that.
