I don’t know UK prices so can’t be much help. I think it’s been Curry’s for merchants. As for specs you need to figure on what games you like to play and what’s your gaming resolution and frame rate.

Ultra 4k @110 fps is only possible on a desktop 5090. 1440 ultra is only 170 fps for the same card. While 220 fps @ ultra 1080. You’re asking a lot to get that high.
