Greetings! I am looking to buy a new PC, early next year. I have started to make a build but would greatly appricate any advice or feedback as I am not as familar with computers as I once was!

Monitor - I am currently running 3 xMSI OPTIX MAG24C (FHD 144Hz). I am looking to upgrade to an MSI G24C4 for my main screen (FHD 180Hz). I don't want a monitor bigger than 24inchs and I want them to match, hence why I am getting a very similar monitor with better refresh rate.

Uses - I don't stream or video edit. I am looking into getting a VR setup in the future but I currently just run games with standard programs on in the background (Discord, Firefox, ect). I play mainly FPS games (Tarkov is my current game).

Max Budget - My max budget is £3000, however I am looking to spend more in the realm of £2700 max.

Current build: (This is the build I have designed so far).

Please don't buy that as it will be instantly outdated in January as next gen GPU's are announced at CES in the first week of jan, and you'll get more performance at the same price point.

All looks good to me except I would not use a HDD in this day and age.
I was only having it as I have really slow internet. It means I can leave games installed on the HDD and move them to my SSD if needed. Saves waiting 30hours for a download.

I would look at getting a modern PSU such as the 1200w Shift. Unfortunately there are only a few options. From what is available I would actually have the 750w RM over the 850w RMx as it's better at handling power spikes. 750w isn't enough for normal high power usage but the 850w isn't enough for spikes.

There may be more options by Feb though, I would want at least 1000w ATX3.x in any modern system to cover future use. The 1200w offering that's in there right now (the Shift) covers all the bases already.
