Just to chuck something else in
If you know a student to get the 15% discount then you'd get this for ~£1600
Similar CPU - guess it depends how much you need the extra cores on the Ryzen. But you get a 2080 Ti instead of a 2080.
And a lot of money left overIntel i9-9900K (8 Core, 3.60 GHz, 16MB Cache)

So here is a list I am think I am happy with, any advice? Any obvious mistakes? Any saving I can make? I wanna take advantage of the black Friday offers as I can't wait till post Christmas sale now...
@chrisbmx116 @chez_jay, anyone else?
I have chosen a more expensive motherboard than I would like, but the sub £200 ones don't seen to allow SLi which is an upgrade I'd like in the next couple of years. I have gone for NVIDIA because of the 3D renderers I need being non ADM compatible, so this is non negotiable...

Like I said, I am waiting for later today to see how much more the Ryzen 3950X will be, if it's around the £100 mark, then I'd probably go for the upgrade, otherwise, I'll stick to the 3900X.
Scan can build it for £150 and it'll come with their usual 1 year onsite + 2 years back to base warranty. I think they said OC costs another £60, so I'd probably go for that too.
In total, it's still just about within the £250o mark... I think... I hope... then there is a new monitor, a fancy keyboard, a nice new mouse... then I need to sell more organs... (Both my kidneys are gone for my bespoke bike that is on the way...) Then I need to win the lottery... then... then... then...
