I'm working on a PC build for gaming, specifically to play Warzone and GTA 5 on a 165Hz monitor. My goal is to achieve at least 120fps on ultra settings without any issues. My total budget is £750, which is a bit of a stretch. I'd like feedback on whether this build looks solid or if it might be overkill. Also, should I be concerned about any potential bottlenecks, and if so, at what levels? I'm open to making some compromises on parts for minor reductions in performance or looks, as long as I can still hit that 120-165fps range at extreme settings. (Just a note: I'm only using the CPU, GPU, and RAM from this build; other components are new, and I'm looking for an opened but new SSD.)

It looks like you're missing a cooler, which is essential. Without it, your setup could thermal throttle, causing significant performance drops—meaning you might struggle to hit anywhere near your fps goal.
Just to clarify, the CPU you're using actually comes with a cooler, so that should help with thermal management!
