Without a budget, for said parts, any config that is brought up is just a stab in the dark.

Sorry my bad £1000 is like how much I would want to spend

 

[logainofhades]

For a gaming centered build, a 5800x is plenty. Streaming, a 5900x might make a bit more sense. Also as you have the budget, 32gb ram, for a bit of longevity.

Don't let the cheap cooler fool you either. It's an amazing cooler, for the money.

This board paired with the right cpu cooler will allow you to run that cpu 24/7 with the power limits turned off in the bios. It's a round a about way of OC those locked Intel cpu's

The OP specifically said they only need CPU, motherboard, and ram. They have everything else, bar maybe cooling.

I would recommend against paying scalper like prices, for an RTX 3060. The GTX 1070 is still a very capable 1080p card, and should stay that way, by the time we get back to normalcy, in the GPU market.
