Hey everyone! I'm planning my new PC build and would love your thoughts on the parts I've picked. You can check out my list here: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LXVpTM). I'm trying to keep the budget around $2000 while getting the best performance for my money. Specifically, I'm looking for feedback on my choices, particularly the motherboard and case. I don't have much knowledge about motherboards, so I'd appreciate any advice on picking one that maximizes my build. Also, I'm curious if there are budget-friendly cases that still offer tempered glass since I love that look. Lastly, is tempered glass safe? If it were to break, could it damage my components? I really want to make this upgrade count because my current PC isn't cutting it! Thanks a ton! <3

About your storage, the P310 and UD89 use QLC flash which isn’t super durable and will slow down over time. Look for drives with TLC flash like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3, WD Blue, or TeamGroup MP44L to ensure better durability and performance.
First off, what will you be using the PC for? Assuming you’re gaming, I suggest considering the 7950X3D. Check out this build I made: [PCPartPicker Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XHnp6Q). It's a white build that's less expensive and still packs a punch for gaming and light work. Trust me, you can ditch the 16-core CPU if you’re not using it to its full potential!
Wow, I love the look of the first build! Is the graphics card you chose comparable in performance to mine? Those changes really helped save some cash for a nice case. Just to clarify, I’m based in Bulgaria, and this build’s going to be gaming-heavy and suitable for occasional work like Word and Photoshop. I absolutely want the best performance for my money, but I also want it to look good!
Definitely! The one I suggested is great for gaming without breaking the bank.
What about the UD90? Is it basically the same as the UD89?
