I'm looking to order a gaming desktop PC from Quoted Tech and have customized it using their site. My primary use will be gaming and general tasks—no video editing or heavy rendering. Here are the current specs of my gaming laptop for reference: AMD Ryzen 5 4000 series CPU, GTX 1000 series GPU, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD storage, 1920 x 1080 resolution, and a 144Hz refresh rate. I'm wondering if the specs I chose are good and if there's anything I should change. I also mistakenly listed 64GB of RAM instead of the intended 32GB, so I updated that in the link. Any advice?

Hey! I see some cool parts here! While I appreciate the high-end choices, you can save some cash by going for slightly lower-tier options that still offer great performance. If you need any specific help, feel free to reach out on our website! We’re here to advise you!
Wow, that's an expensive setup. Seriously, before you splurge, think about getting a sweet new monitor instead. Aim for at least a 1440p resolution with 240Hz refresh rate; that would really enhance your gaming experience!
Hey! You might want to reconsider some parts of your build. It seems like you're paying a pretty penny for components that won't really boost your gaming experience much. For instance, look at switching to a more affordable motherboard and CPU cooler—those upgrades won't help your gaming performance at all. I ran your parts through Quoted Tech, and it looks like the total came out to about $6249, which is quite high for a system with a 5070 Ti. Seriously, you could save a ton by going with a different configuration.
If you're unsure about building it yourself, consider getting someone to help for a much lower cost than buying a pre-built from Quoted Tech. Besides, you don't need Windows Pro for gaming unless you have specific needs for it. Check out the breakdown I did with parts that save you money without sacrificing performance!
Thanks for the detailed breakdown! I definitely need to explore those alternatives and look for a friend who can help me out with the building process.

Yeah, I know. Maybe I should prioritize the monitor first! I'm eyeing some OLED options from MSI. Thanks for the suggestion!
