Gaming PC, thoughts?

I'm looking to get a decent gaming PC that will be future proof for a few years.
I was toying with the idea of a 1TB samsung 970 evo M.2 ssd instead of the standard SSD but they seem a lot more exspensive, are they worth the extra speed?

Also why is the I7 9700k cpu greyed out? Are they out of stock? any idea if or when they will be available?
Is the cooling options I chose ok?

At the moment I could stretch the budget to £1,700

thanks for any input

Intel CPUs have had supply issues (globally, not just PCS) which partly explained their proportionately high prices. And presumably the stock issues here.

What monitor are you gaming on? (resolution and refresh rate - if you don't know give the exact model and we can look it up)
