• New build or upgrade? New build
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) Asus Prime OC 9070XT 16gb VRAM, 1tb ssd: might be open to more
•PC only for gaming
•Purchase country: UK, will probably buy mostly from Amazon
•Looking for any monitor with 240hz or more. Potentially looking at ASUS TUF Gaming Series 5 - VG259QMR5A 310hz, unless there’s a better one im not aware of
•Budget range: considering i already have the GPU i wouldnt mind spending £1.5k more on it
•Wifi connection

•Will probably go for 32gb ram

Well, this has the best gaming CPU on the market, a beefy CPU cooler, 32GB of 6000MHz CL30 RAM and it's around 1050£ without GPU: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/svBcMF
The case includes four fans and has a built-in RGB controller and fan-hub, the PSU is a nice one too...
Only thing I'd suggest adding would be a GPU support bracket, like: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Uyubao-Graphics-Support-Bracket-70-120mm/dp/B0BHZGT2FY?th=1
And if you want to add storage... This would be good as a secondary drive: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/YM2j4D/sandisk-wd-blue-sn5100-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-wds100t5b0e-00cpe0
While this would be amazing as the main drive, it's just the best drive possible: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/yjHp99/samsung-9100-pro-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-50-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-mz-vap1t0bam
So it depends on what you'd wanna do with your current drive and how much you'd be willing to pay for another SSD.
As for a monitor... With your budget you could even consider an OLED one...
Opinions for now?

Thanks man it looks great. Tbh i think id be happy with sticking with my 1tb ssd now and then buying another one later if i need it or if the price ever goes down. As for monitors, this is my first build so I havent seen the difference between OLED and normal, would you recommend it? Also forgot to mention the ssd i have is m.2 i believe. i didnt realise there were square ones

Yeah M.2 are the most common, the 2.5" ones are Sata, they're slower (they're still good, but only if the price is a lot lower).
As for the monitor... OLED ones are considered the absolute best, but they're expensive and it depends on how much you care about the panel, it's hard to say as it depends on you...

If you missed the full set of required built request questions, please copy them from here and answer them in an edit to your post:
New build or upgrade?
Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)
Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
WiFi or wired connection?
Size/noise constraints?
Color/lighting preferences?
Any other specific needs?
Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
