Hey everyone! I'm looking for your thoughts on a PC build I've put together before I go ahead and order the parts. I'm planning to use this rig for gaming and streaming simultaneously, as well as screen recording, video editing, general web browsing, and Excel tasks. I play a variety of games, including shooters like Call of Duty and Overwatch, and simulators like drone FPV and RTS games. I also use software like DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, Insta360 Studio, OBS, TikTok Live Studio, Discord, Spotify, Excel, and Audacity.
I'm running a setup with 4 monitors: three at 1080P with 240Hz and one ultrawide 34" 4K.
For storage, I'm planning to have one drive for boot, another for applications and gaming, and a third for video and image storage.
Based in the US, I'd appreciate any recommendations on hardware swaps or improvements to my build!

You might want to pick up a third NVMe drive since you have the slot available. They're faster, cheaper, and actually quite reliable—often more so than SATA drives. Also, I'd recommend going for a standard ATX power supply instead of the smaller SFX one you're considering. An ATX PSU will generally provide better airflow and cooling due to the larger fan. Check out my suggested parts list for alternatives!
I noticed that the motherboard you've chosen might only have 2 slots for drives, so make sure you double-check that!
