I'm feeling pretty good about my choices for my upcoming PC build, but I want to get some second opinions to ensure I'm not missing anything. Specifically, I'm planning to use the P3 Plus as my boot drive. If you have any suggestions or advice on the parts, I'd love to hear them! Here's the link to my planned build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yVfTDj

You might want to reconsider getting a 500GB SSD right now since 1TB models are only like $10-20 more. It's a better deal when you think about it!
Honestly, you might not need a separate SSD just for booting. You could save some space and just set up a partition on your primary drive for that.
I'm not really familiar with that RAM brand. I'd suggest looking into more well-known brands for reliability, but overall your build looks solid! I just completed a similar one myself and it's been working great.
Actually, Teamgroup has been around for a long time and produces good RAM. Honestly, most RAM these days comes from just a handful of manufacturers, so the brand isn't as critical as you might think.
Quick question—does the case you picked come with fans? Fans are crucial for cooling, but if it does, consider swapping them out later if you want something quieter or more efficient. I remember swapping mine for P12’s, way better!
Yes, it does come with fans, but I want to replace them with P12s or A12X25s. I just forgot to mention that.
That's a good point! Having that extra space could definitely come in handy!
