Hello, looking for a custom build from PC specialist to order at the start of April(when the Graphics Card is back in stock) and don't really know much about components. I am mainly going to use the PC for gaming and was wondering if there is anything that needs to be adjusted. I was also wondering about what monitor I should buy. The budget for a monitor would be around £200.

You’re going to want a 1080p 144hz, i don’t know any off the top of my head, but £200 should get you a reasonable monitor, you’d ideally not go above 24” though with 1080p.

This looks like a great build! If you think you'd find bluetooth useful to have on your PC, you could change the Motherboard to the non-wifi board then add in the AX200 Wireless card, it should add better wifi and bluetooth for only £1 more than the wifi version of the motherboard.

As Ash mentioned. £200 would comfortably get you a 1080p 24 inch 144hz monitor. I know the MSI Optix G241 is recommended a lot here and I know AOC does some good monitors. The C24G1 is a good option if you'd like a curved monitor for about £185, or the 24G2U can be found for under £200 too.

Build looks very solid, good job!
Worth coming back to it when you're ready to order, as component prices are likely to shift over the next couple of weeks and we might need to adjust your build accordingly to keep it in budget.
