Hey everyone! I'm planning to build a new gaming PC from scratch, and it's been a while since I last did this. I'm aiming to create something that will last for a good while and allow for easy upgrades down the line. My budget is capped at £2000 (around $2700). I've put together a part list that's a bit over budget but I'm hoping to snag some deals. I'd really appreciate your feedback! Are there any major red flags or places where I might be wasting money on this build? Also, I'm not too concerned about how it looks, just focusing on performance!

Your build looks solid, but I made a few tweaks that could save you some money and improve performance. For instance, swapping to a different motherboard and RAM could really help. Here’s an optimized list I recommend: [Revised Part List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/y93Vv4). Overall, it costs around £1865, and it has a better motherboard and faster RAM, plus a higher capacity power supply. It's definitely worth considering!
Wow! Thanks for putting together that list. I realized my power supply wasn’t the best choice either. Also, I learned the difference between CL36 and CL30 RAM! Quick question: what should I focus on when picking motherboards in the future?
