Budget Aim: £2000 (willing to go an extra £100 more if "beneficial")
Use: General heavy gaming, able to be used with High - Medium settings at 120fps+ preferably
Intended Upgrades: RAM to 64GB, GPU to at least a 3080 12GB, (might consider upgrading CPU however no plans so far)
Generally just rate my build. I know the basics of PC building but I do tend to miss a few points. Only recently did I figure out that generally for overclocking Z690 and Z790 boards would be better and even now I know there's a lot I'm missing.

No offense but that Kolink case isn't worthy of being a doorstop. No airflow and it's cheap junk to say the least. Look for a motherboard with two M.2 heatsinks if you plan on using two M.2 SSD's. I'll use this Gigabyte board below as an example seeing how that board allows the user to flash the bios for 13 gen cpu's without the cpu & ram being installed thanks to Gigabyte Q-Flash Plus.
