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

Consider 980 PRO instead of 970 EVO. In my country, it is $10 more on Amazon but the rated read/write speeds are significantly higher.

I would get a 2TB SSD instead of 1TB. The size of games these days is insane!

I'd switch out the ram kit for that is 6000 MHz, as that is the sweet spot for AMD (link to igor's lab article on this). I'd also check that the kit you end up getting has been tested by the motherboard manufacturer as DDR 5 is still rather new.

Looks fine. You might save some money on the PSU by choosing another one from A tier here and by lowering the wattage. ~800W is more than enough for that build and for the future

Is your country not supported in https://pcpartpicker.com/?

Just from my personal experience, I won't ever again buy anything Gigabyte branded. If you want it to last 6 years it won't with Gigabyte. Bad warranty coverage, bad customer service, bad build. For power supply I have EVGA. No issues. Motherboard I have Asus TUF series in my builds. For monitor, I use AOC. The customer service I got from them when I screwed up and cracked mine unexpected in a great way.

Oh and I'm jealous of the rest of the build. I want that graphic card.

Oh yeah it was discovered that they had backdoors in their motherboards. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-motherboards-come-with-a-firmware-backdoor
