You've got a fantastic build here! If you can afford it, go for it—everything seems compatible. Just a thought, at this price point, a 1200W PSU might be a good idea for future-proofing. You never know when a 5090 might come up!
You could potentially get similar performance at a lower cost. Depending on your use case, it might be worth exploring alternative components that give you the same bang for your buck!
Valid feedback! Could you share some specific parts that are more budget-friendly?
Thanks for the advice! Are there any areas where you think I could save some cash?
