i definitely reckon intel's a better bet at this budget level (obviously avoiding 13/14th gen because they're broken), you could push the budget by a few quid and get a 12600kf if you wanted

alternatively with this you could easily go a 1440p monitor

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/7v3mP6/seasonic-focus-gx-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-focus-gx-850 you could also opt for this power supply instead, it's a bit quieter and 850w

also seasonic so all the great stuff that comes with them

longer, and transferrable, warranty, great support etc

^^^ this much better

the cpu cooler is what you pay for

the motherboard, ssd and ram are great though and ddr5 comes with some speed benefit

and that gpu, sapphire did an incredible job
