Hello everyone.
I started my job for a couple of months and after settling all up with new house and stuff i saved some money for my first gaming PC that I had in mind to do once I could do it by my own.
Its something not easy to do when we dont have the money required and when we start to have our own and save specifically for this purpose we want everything to be perfect and, ofc, to last a good amount of time (although im aware of high end technology today, old school tomorrow).
I saved around 2k £ (whilling to spend some more if its has a trully benefit in it) for my first pc gaming.
Im not an expert, i try to read as much as i can and look into things as much as I can, but I may be doing something dumb I just wanna make sure everything will be done the right way.

Mouse I have since I use my laptop for gaming and headset too.
I plan to overclock the cpu for the 4.5/4.6 gHz and has u can see in my build, it will be for 4k gaming.
Please feel free if i missed something to tell me and if it can be improved a lot with a little more budget, or if I can get the some performance and "future proofness" with lower budget, to point that out to me.
Cheers to everyone,
TMiguel
