This, or a flavour of this is going to be my next project.

What's the best website / retailer to build your own PC? I've traditionally purchased off the shelf but I have a few pieces in my existing PC (RTX 2080, SSD) that I want to bring over to a new build.
A site such as PC Case Gear allows you to customise their existing PC products but I don't think you can simply remove parts you don't want. Whereas I find something like Scorptec a little overwhelming because there seems a reasonable chance of including things that are unnecessary or excluding things that are important.

I've always found the Scorptec builder to be pretty decent, but to run off other options off the top of my head what about pcpartpicker?
Pick parts. Build your PC. Compare and share.

Yep.
In some ways its better for finding a deal than PC Part Picker, but you need to know the exact model you are looking for for staticice to be most effective imo

Sounds about right, I'd decide on a part then go to staticice to find it.
Can't believe the design is exactly the same from 10 years ago.
The only new stuff that should come out soon that's of any significance are the new ATI GPUs (and the Nvidia 3070), I don't remember seeing anything about any lower-end AMD/Nvidia stuff that would cause the prices to drop for the level of kit you're after.
Having said that, Black Friday sales should be on November 27th so you may find decent deals around then.

If you are looking at that level of components you'd be waiting until something like March next year at the earliest before new components are unveiled. At this stage, neither a new Ryzen 3 CPU or a ~USD $200 GPU has even been announced.
But as dav3 points, out, waiting until late November for potential sales might be wise

Anyone have experience with RAID controllers?

Finally got myself a 34' inch ultrawide monitor. Using anything smaller is never going to be the same again.
My stand is taking up a lot of space on my desk and I'd like it to be further back closer to the wall as well. Any ideas on monitor arms that could help me achieve that? Something that when pushed all the way back will almost be as though it's attached to the wall. This would be more of a mounting bracket than an arm I guess?

Welcome to the ultrawide master race. What did you get?
Most monitor arms from anywhere you should be able to push it back flush with the back of your desk. Even those J Burrows Officeworks brand ones are alright. Just made sure the monitor is a standard vesa mount. I'd be surprised if it weren't though

I have the same one.
Was very pleased that Tim's review on it turned out as positive as it did as I'd already been using mine for a couple of months by the time the review came out

This means one of TSMC's current 7nm customers is moving to 5nm or 3nm which frees up captivity at 7nm for Nvidia's volume..Nvidia already heading to 7nm next year
NVIDIA will shift over to TSMC for new 7nm Ampere GPUs in 2021
NVIDIA will reportedly shift over most of the workload of producing 7nm Ampere GPUs to TSMC, away from Samsung 8nm right now.www.tweaktown.com

I am a little concerned with the GPU lengths, a full length 300mm card will be pushing right up against my reservoir. I guess I can move it over a bit more, but that's a pain in the ass to do.
There's a $100SGD difference between the TUF and The FTW3 on Newegg, so I may as well just go for that instead.
