I haven't built my own PC since 2007 and I'm super clueless about everything nowadays. I've been making due on laptops because I've moved across the pond a few times. But I'm staying in the UK for a while and want to finally get a gaming PC. Budget is $2200 (1500-1600GBP). Stuff is way more expensive here in the UK, particularly with VAT. I remember when $2000 would get you near top of the line
I have time on my hands and I'm wondering if I should try to line up and get a GPU at MSRP and do a proper build, or if that's still really difficult, particularly in the UK.
Decided to go with one of these prebuilt websites that allows you to customize a bit, because it's been so long since I've built anything.
I want to get the most bang for my buck. I've been trying to do as much research as I can, but am a bit overwhelmed. Would greatly appreciate any help.

Went to 32gb of 3200mhz ram and upgraded to a faster, bigger SSD. Also upgraded the motherboard.
Apologies for the vomit of specs, but I genuinely really appreciate anyone's time. Thank you.
