How does this look?

[PaulOwens220]

Couple of options then mate

AOC Q27G2U 1440p 165Hz 1ms IPS
BenQ EX2780Q
LG UltraGear 27GB800B

My pick would be the Gigabyte G27Q or Gigabyte AORUS FI27Q though if you could get them at a good price

So I tweaked the build slightly. More storage and lowered the PSU (by the time I have money to upgrade other stuff I can just get a bigger PSU then anyways) and changed the case. Any last thoughts on this?

Still can't decide on a monitor. I need 3 so fancied a good gaming one and 2 cheaper FHD ones and I was wanting curved ones. Tryna find a 27" Curved QHD IPS Monitor for around £300 is proving tricky.

Me personally I would want 850W minimum for that 12700K 3070Ti set up. I'd honestly be happier with 1000W to make sure I've room to add stuff later but 750W would be too close to the wire for me

I would go with a cheaper set up for on the storage to accommodate a better PSU or less RAM and add more later depending on how critical 32GB is. Storage and RAM are easily added, changing a PSU is a serious bit of work and very time consuming

There are to my knowledge no curved IPS 1440p displays.

That explains why I can't find any then

Right you man calm down. I originally started this quest with a total budget of £1500 😂 Now I want the RAM, PSU and Storage!!
