Thank you.

even an older i 7700 K would be fine too ..if your stuck with an older platform and have a decent mainboard you can Overclock with

1. 9900k
2. 9700k
3. 8700k

2700x will hold the 2080 ti back at lower resolutions, but should be fine for 4k.

True, even the 8700k can do it too, very rarely though and only noticeable if you look for it.

What’s a recommended RAM speed for Ryzen 7 2700X? If, I pair it with RTX 2080 Ti?

3000 MHz cl14~16, max support for most AM4 board bios is 3600 but it differs by brand I guess, as my X470 AORUS board only just got AGESA 1.0.0.6 at the end of december. (1.0.0.6 added much better memory support)

3000MHz or above so that the performance bottleneck doesn't fall onto your RAM at this level.

It's not bottlenecking, it's the infinity fabric
and it won't bottleneck unless you do insanely low speeds which nobody does as high speeds are within a few dollars of the lower speed at most.

And lastly, what wattage/power supply would be recommend to overclock both CPU, GPU and RAM?

A 2700x will likely run into a bottleneck, and if you need the cores while buying a £1200+ gpu then the 9900k will be within budget, so I'd look at a 9700k or a 9900k anything less is daft at this price point.

Power wise, I've seen my 9900k and an evga 2080ti ftw3 ultra pull around 450w under benchmarking load, so a solid 650w to 850w will do you fine and sit nicely in the efficency curve most of the time.
Id go with gold rated, no need for higher, you'll pay a fortune more for very little practical improvements (and won't ever save the difference in cost on your power bill).

My personal favorite psu's are evga's supernova G2 line (I would avoid the newer G3 line as they seem to have more issues than the G2's), but really anything from tier 1 here will serve you well https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

I currently only use a 1000w G2 over an 850w as I literally had it sitting around doing nothing and I had sold my 850w G2 a while ago, so no need to spend the crazy prices for 1000w + psu's.

9900k for gaming and work or R7 2700x for work only cause it will bottleneck in games

Or wait a day and see when AMD say 3000 series launch if not in a rush.
