How’s this spec for 1440p-4K gaming?

Budget - approx £2150

Monitor - LG C2 48” OLED

Use - 1440p-4K gaming at 60fps+, mostly RPGs like Baldur’s Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield, and heavily modded Skyrim.

Ideally I’d like the PC to run pretty quiet as I don’t like to have very loud fan noise. I also went with a wireless network card with Bluetooth connectivity as I like to use wireless controllers. I’m quite new to PC building and have never built one myself before so I wanted to check here as to whether the parts I’ve chosen are suitable. I’d also like the build to be reasonably future proof. Any advice would be much appreciated :)

MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
I'd tweak your build a bit, but it's a pretty good start.

Though I don't really know how you're planning to play in 1440p on a 4K monitor? That won't be a good experience at all...
