Hi, what is your maximum budget? What monitor will you pair with that PC?

Pre-assemblies should be avoided since they often contain low-quality components and are generally unbalanced/obsolete machines.

The problem with pre-built PC's, as Ekans alludes to, is they often throw in one expensive component (usually the graphics card) and then add in cheaper components to keep the overall price down.

That build above has a 4070 (expensive) thrown in with last-gen RAM and motherboard.

I think, for your budget, you'd get a higher end machine, and therefore more for your money, with a custom build.

To clarify, is this the monitor you have?

A 1440p PC requires a somewhat higher budget (about £1700-1800).

Something like this, for example, however keep in mind that the CPU is only a placeholder because the 7800X3D, best gaming CPU on the market, is now out of stock.
