I put this build together and am now looking for some opinions and advice before I buy the components. Any components that you would change or spend less on?

I plan to use this PC mostly for gaming in 1440p (MW2, Elden Ring, Resident Evil, FF7 Remake, Cities Skylines, Civilization 6, Elder Scrolls Online, and many upcoming AAA titles) and would like the build to last me at least as long as my current build has lasted (6 years now!).

I have a spare 2TB SATA SSD that I will reuse in this build. My budget is around 2000€, although the monitor is making me go above that :D

I'd switch the Samsung 970 SSD for a 980 pro. It has been on sale for $60 here in the US and you'll get faster speeds with its PCIe 4. https://versus.com/en/samsung-970-evo-plus-1tb-vs-samsung-980-pro-1tb

Edit: Also, this is my personal preference so take it as you may, but I got so sick of AIOs clogging/pumps dying and Noctua makes air coolers that are very nearly as effective around the same price range.

For the 980 Pro, if I’m not mistaken it requires a firmware update to make it run properly.
