Hi there, I would like to order an PC suited for 1080p gaming, to be more specific MMORPGs in at least high resolution. Other than that I would use it for Uni work and doing multiple tasks like watching streams while working or something in that direction. My budget for that would be a maximum of 1300 pound. Please find what I would imagine my build to look like, advice would be really much appreciated. Thank you! Also I would like for it to be looking a bit flashy as It'll be in plain view :) Please note I have no clue when it comes to cases, I just picked this one as I thought it would look cool. Edit: As for the Monitor I'll have a separate budget for that, I just buy what goes best with the build.

Good start! I wouldn't cheap out for PSU. CV series are mainly for extreme budget and office builds. Better get a proper modular, example, Corsair 850W RMx or at least RM series. If budget allows, I would get a faster M.2 SSD. Current wifi doesn't have a Bluetooth and doesn't support dual band. If relevant, AX wifi is more reliable. Also, pointing out that the above is without any OS and you'll need to install it yourself, with drivers etc.
