Tacoshy that sounds like a amazing setup mate, and yeah I get it we was all rich once wasnt we my girlfriend doesnt seem to understand why gaming PCs cost so much, she said "you can get one for £500" lol if only she knew. And Callum I agree with that H510 elite case that's one of my favourites but I dont know if it's worth a extra £100 or not, and I would prefer a 144hz monitor as I would like the best of abilitys to be used out of my setup, I want to play games on the best quality possible, can you recommend any monitors Callum? Thanks.

Depends what games you play imo. If you're solely a competitive game player, it's best imo to get a 1080p 144Hz monitor as the games don't need to look that much sharper and you'll get more frames. If you play a lot of open world games or building games like Civilisation, a 1440p 60Hz monitor might be all you need. I use a 1440p 144Hz monitor for mostly playing csgo, siege, apex and GTA and the only thing I miss is the smaller screen tbh. I find a 27" is too much to look at when I'm trying to focus on one area of a screen. If a 1440p 144Hz monitor isn't within your budget, I wouldn't expand your budget to buy one. Although 1440p does look amazing, i wouldn't break my budget for it.

1440p doesn't scale to 1080p without some degree of blurring occuring either, and so it's not practical to switch to 1080p if you prefer competitive games at 1080p. If you do want a 1080p 144Hz monitor I would recommend the BenQ one that I listed above, its a 1080p 144Hz monitor that has a TN panel (worse viewing angles, higher response time), so perfect for 1080p gaming. If you're looking for a 1440p 100+Hz monitor, I would suggest something like the Dell S2719DGF 27" 1440p 144Hz (155Hz overclock) which is £350 on Amazon or MSI Optix MAG271CQR 27" 1440p 144Hz which is £350 at Currys PC World. Out of the two, I would say the MSI Optix is the better monitor but lacks USB 3.0 Passthrough that the Dell has.

I advise against the S2719DGF, it's a pretty trash monitor.
You can get the AOC AG241QX or AG271QX for cheaper, and it's better in every regard. (And £299 (on Amazon) for the 24 and £369 for the 27 (on Amazon) The 27 inch is a little more pricey, but it's honestly worth it for better everything.
I seen a couple reviews and trouble is some people say they are terrible for screen tearing, I want a monitor that is amazing picture and 1440p and 144hz, the msi optic seemed like a great choice but after a couple reviews it said it can be quite bad for screen tearing, especially without the compatible graphics card, I'm going down to currys to check it out today aswell might aswell get a decent monitor after paying all that for the setup!

FreeSync now works with Nvidia gpus, though not as good as Gsync but still works well. If you want the best of the best for 1440p 144Hz with no screen tearing you're looking at spending anywhere between £470 for the Acer Predator XB271huzbr and £590 for the ASUS PG278QR ROG Swift as they both have Gsync. For your needs, as long as you have your FPS capped at 144 you shouldn't notice much (if any) screen tearing with FreeSync 1440p 144hz monitors.

There are cheaper 24" 2560x1440 144Hz G-Sync monitors like this one[www.scan.co.uk] but imo 1440p makes no sense on a monitor smaller than 27".

The monitor you linked is just a more expensive version of the AOC mointior I linked. They use the same panel, they perform exactly the same, why pay more for a product?

And, 24 inch > 27 inch imho, but I do sit close to my monitor, so that could be part of it. I also just look how much sharper it is, things just look nicer than on a 27 inch.

You're right, I completely forgot about the AOC you linked - imma delete that comment so I don't get giving poor advice to the OP again xd

The size is completely preference, personally I prefer 27"-32" for the sharper 1440p look but thats because I play a lot of open world games like AC Odyssey, it does look really sharp on 24" though yeah

Thanks guys I think I'm ganna have to look into it more I'm not sure whether I would prefer a 24inch or a 27 as I thought bigger the better but then I thought that extra 3inchs is alot more to cover with the eyes in fast paced games if you know what I mean, also I dont really wanna spend more than 200 - 250 max on a monitor at the moment

Well, look at a monitor differently to say a GPU.
A monitor could potentially sitck with you for years and years. Why not spend just a little more, and buy something that you like nearly every aspect of, and then not have to upgrade for at least 5 years. The only time you realistically have to upgrade a monitor is when it dies, or you get bored of it. (Remember, theres people that still use CRT monitors, and 4:3 displays from eons ago.)
Just some food for thought.

As for monitor size, how close do you sit to it? If it's an arms length, I'd say 27inch is the way to go. If it's shorter than arms length, 24inch would be good. (At least from my experience.) You can always return it if you don't like it, and get the smaller/larger size.

No harm done, just takes some looking around to know what is what.

And, yeah, it is preference.
There's some people displays 1080p 32inch or larger displays, I can't for the life of me figure out why, but if they're fine with it, I can't judge.
(I can't stand 1080p at 24inch. So 32 would be a living hell lmao.)
Hey guys just a quick question just trying to read up on some stuff before I make any purchases, I just read a review saying this graphics card is better than the one in my setup recommended.. what do you guys think https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-5700-GDDR6-3xDP/dp/B07T81CGFY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=Powercolor+Radeon+RX+5700+8GB&qid=1563367720&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr1&linkCode=ll1&tag=thtebusgu-20&linkId=1276db3fb47cda8ab60e328c3d1b812e&language=en_US
Btw this is the graphics card I'm supposed to be getting to save you looking for the link

no they are on par while the 5700 XT not the normal 5700 is slightly better in calculating power then the 2060 Super. However it is a blower type cooler which is loud and will run way hotter then a non-blower type cooler. Also Drivers are soemtimes a little messy espacially with certain games.
the slightly cheaper price doesnt amke up for the downside imo. Also not in your budget case (at least for me) - the sound of a jet engine during playing because the cooler is so super inefficient with a good case is not really enjoyable for me at least.
Good to know thanks man! I'll stick to the original plan. Thanks for your help I'll keep you updated with anymore questions or anything.

Although the 5700 is cheaper and only slightly behind a 2060 Super, I would personally choose the 2060 Super if it were me. The 5700 uses a blower style cooler which honestly may very well ruin your gaming experience. Blower coolers are extremely loud and airflow restricted, making them run slot hotter than a normal air cooler. The 2060 Super also has RT and DLSS for added value (even if you don't use it)

As far as I know, the fan only spins at 2k RPM right? So it won't sound like a jet engine, but it'll throttle to all ♥♥♥♥, lmao.

DLSS is kinda a moot point now; because AMD have their sharpening filter thing, which actually looks better.
RT has some value, I guess, but it's not going to great.

That said, I would still pick the 2060S, because it's cooler is better.
