Do you have the monitor already? Do you know what refresh rate it is? Around £1250 should see a good 1080p build but I would go down a different path.

This is a little bit over budget but has all your uses covered nicely. I would have liked the more powerful cooling option in place but this would have added another £20 to the cost. It'll be fine though, it was more in case you wanted to upgrade the CPU in future.

Much appreciated,

As for the monitor, I believe it is 120Hz (It's a 4 year old monitor that I inherited be honest.) However I am looking to upgrade in the next couple of months to something a little more substantial (144Hz or more), but stick to 1080p.

Once again, appreciate the help!
