I am looking to have a £2,000 maximum budget on my new Gaming PC. My budget was fine at £2,000 but the price of the 1080 is £619, £169 above what I expected it to be (£450). This is what I'm looking to get buy I am £200+ over my budget. Any recommendations on how I can save that £200 would be very appreciated, I am looking to keep the same Keyboard/Headset/Monitor (Mouse isn't necessarily needed but would be a great addition). Thank you once again.

I don't think you need 32GiB RAM, nor 500GiB SSD, nor a headset (they're poor quality -- better to invest in dedicated headphones + attachable mic). Also changed power supply, and motherboard. I would honestly get a cheaper keyboard that isn't RGB, but to each his own.
