bottlenecking is basically a slur here

the calculators are bad at best, and often not used correctly, so they'll send you in all sorts of wrong directions

all in all the PC spec is a fine 1080p machine, I'd personally not opt for a corsair cooler and if you wanted to save a little with no sacrifice(and a better looking motherboard IMO) then I'd recommend the GIGABYTE B850 AORUS ELITE over the TUF board

it dropped the price by £15, by better do you mean physically looks better

yeah, it's a cleaner look IMO

#

instead of a big fat TUF GAMIING standing out you have a more subtle branding, it's personal taste though
