I'm planning to switch from my PS5 to a gaming PC, but honestly, it's all a bit overwhelming for me. I have a budget of £2000 and want to make sure I get the right components, especially since I'm mainly focused on competitive gaming. I've done some research and gathered a list of parts, but I'd really appreciate any help or advice on whether they work well together or if I should consider any changes. Here's what I've got so far: CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Cooler - Noctua NH-D15 or AIO 280mm, Motherboard - B650 / X670 Wi-Fi, RAM - 32GB DDR5 6000-6400 CL30R, Storage - 2 TB NVMe Gen4 SSD, Power Supply - 850W gold (fully modular), Case - a high airflow mid tower, and Fans - x6 Noctua or Corsair.

Your build is looking good! Just be aware that the Noctua cooler is quite large, as is the AIO if you go with that option. Make sure your case can accommodate these parts, as not all cases support a 280mm AIO. I recommend using PCPartPicker to check compatibility; it can save you from headaches later. Also, it looks like you might not have a GPU listed—let me know if you need suggestions on that.
Thanks for the advice! I was considering an RTX 4080 but heard that the 5070TI might be a better choice. What do you think?
