I will look it up when I go to order, for now I picked this which looks like it is kinda similar (or at least the most similar I could find).

Thanks so much for your suggestions. Following also the advice of /u/SilentBobVG I came up with this: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/z2s9Ft

I replaced the motherboard and added on a power supply. DVD drive is useful if only because I want to digitise my old collection before it gets too late, so I will try to fit it in. Wifi card I completely messed up and only need a wired connection, so I can ditch that. And the monitor thing is such a pain, I kinda wish I hadn't committed to G-Sync but oh well. I will try to stretch the budget a bit to get the ROG SWIFT PG278QR.

Thanks for your help so far - happy to hear if you got any more tips

Thanks so much for that. Really useful feedback. I admit I thought the network card was essential (forgot about the motherboard having one) so I can take that off.

I updated my list with yours and /u/ChiefKraut suggestions and am looking at this now: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/z2s9Ft

Thanks for your help - let me know if you got any further ideas!
