Fair enough, the 5700 XT will serve you well for a good few years then
So what are you budgeting ~£1200 just the PC and components? Then a separate budget for the monitor now? Any of us here can help spec you something, Lemin has already given a good starter to go with. But your budget has gone up slightly since it seems.
Then you can just copy/paste it into the CS forum and get a quote for them to build it if you like.
What case are you after as well?
Edit: Here's what I would go with... Obviously change the case if you want something else, just make sure it's ATX and has decent airflow
500GB NVMe drive for your Windows, programs and main games you play. 2TB hard drive for storage, photos, documents, etc if you need it. 3600 CPU is best bang for buck that's a given. The mobo is the best bang for buck with a 3600 at this price point. The Red Devil 5700 XT has a brilliant cooler. Then the trusty WiFi adapter.

Ah I just saw this - this actually sounds great.
I've been fiddling around a bit with the specs, and my budget surely has gone up slightly. I like everything on your list there though and I do want that Phanteks Eclipse P400a RGB case in black. So that certainly works!
I'm really not wanting to go above £1200, especially as I've decided on the Iiyama 24.5" GB2560HSU-B1 which'll be an extra £195.
I have to say I pretty much stick to playing a few games, and only very recently got into FPS games. As such, I surely won't need the 1TB NVME right? Or at least I could look at upgrading a few years down the line if it actually got to a stage where I was struggling with the memory?
Also, is there a noticeable difference between the Powercolor Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Devil 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card and the Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Dragon 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphic Card ?
