This is a Build Idea that I have made out of frustration with the pc and that I have to share it. This build is curated of the knowledge I’ve gained through the years of YouTube videos and advice from other platforms alongside here (my main requirements are 1440p gaming, 800£ to 1000£ or slightly above and finally trying to avoid nvidia if not possible I’ll go for it anyways)

That Kingston drive is a terrible one. I would not go with that. 16gb ram is not enough either, and 32gb doesn't cost much more. The 5700x3d is nice, but with the GPU you are going to be using, unless you are playing something very CPU dependent, it won't do much for you over a regular 5700x. A 5700x, and a better GPU makes more sense.

Personally this is how I would build your PC. The 9600x is within a few percent performance as the 5700X3D, however, it is a much faster CPU outside of gaming than the 5700X3D, even in multithreaded applications. This platform would allow you to upgrade to much more potent CPUs in the future. The intel B580 is about as fast as a 6700 XT and typically costs less. I threw in a good PSU that would allow you to get a much more powerful graphics card in the future should you deem it necessary. A 2TB fast drive from crucial without breaking the bank is also in order. As for the peripherals, I would say avoid razer like the plague. Their product rarely last more than a year or two.

When I did my build, I kept it strictly to Amazon, as it appeared with all the overides that is what the OP wanted. Helper's build is a much better option than my original one, due to shopping around, as you get an upgrade path.
