A couple of things:

The board you listed is an mATX form factor, not an ATX, will probably still have screwholes in your case for it just letting you know.

An AIO on a 3600 is really overkill unless you plan to overclock it to shit. I'm not sure if AIOs have any significant advantage over a traditional fan heat sink system anyway. It's your money but personally I'd use the stock cooler and put that towards the GPU.

You probably don't need that much power when the recommended PSU for a 3070 is only 650W (unless you plan to overclock)

I must've misspelt the Motherboard lol, and I am planning on overclocking the CPU

If all you're going to be doing is gaming (if not, ignore this entirely lmao,) then I wouldn't bother because there's no way a 3600 / 2070 equiv setup is cpu bottlenecked anyway.

that 80 quid could go towards upgraded your GPU some more, or maybe getting a nicer 144hz monitor.

it's no good running a system that can output 120+ fps when your refresh rate is limited to 75hz

I would get a better Monitor but the problem is that my monitor options over here are very limited, and I can't really order anything online cause of Many reasons.
The RTX 3050 is most probably gonna be the best value GPU when It comes out so I'm just gonna stick with that since It's meant to be a 1440P GPU (I am getting a 1440p 144hz monitor down the line once I could)

Linus tech tips released his holidays buyer guide yesterday.

Don't cheap out on the case and don't buy a bronze rated power supply. £150 for a 75hz 24 inch monitor isn't a good deal either. Curved at 24inches isn't worth the premium price you will pay for it either.
