Would help if you add your budget and what you'll be using it for - if gaming then what games and what resolution and refresh rate your monitor has/will have

Budget is 2K and I’ll be using it for gaming streaming and video editing

#

Launch a resolution will you 1080p/1440p

what games specifically? some games are a lot more resource intensive than others

Looks like a sound build to me 🙂 My only query would be over the secondary 2TB hard drive. They are cheaper than M.2 drives for sure, but significantly slower.. so if you can stretch the budget to a second M.2 drive then I would recommend that 🙂

#

Games will load a lot quicker with an M.2 over a standard hard drive

agreed, im now looking into getting an m.2 to replace my hard drive. if you can afford it now it will defo save you money in the future

Yep, you can normally happily change your stuff, if its in pre-production its completely free to swap parts as you want, in building and later stages I think there is a small amendments fee though as they'd have to go and take stuff apart again
