Hey everyone! I'm about to purchase my first gaming PC build with a budget of $1200, and I'd love some input from you all. Here's the link to the parts I'm considering: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/NicolasGamingPcBuild/saved/#view=vkm84D. I'm a newbie, so I'm looking for advice on how I can improve this build or if there's anything I should replace. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The build is mostly good, but swap the SSD for something like the Kingston NV3 (make sure not to get the NV2). It's a solid drive! Just a heads up, both the UD90 and NV3 use QLC flash, which can slow down over time, so if you can, aim for drives with TLC flash like the Kioxia Exceria Plus or WD Blue.
Everything looks solid except for the SSD. Avoid the Silicon Power SSD; it has a reputation for problems in the past. Maybe consider a different option?
You're correct about QLC; it's less durable. Definitely go for a TLC option if you can find one in your budget!
