I'm about to get my first high-end PC and wanted to check if everything looks good with my build before I finalize the purchase tomorrow. Here are the specs: - GPU: ASUS TUF 5080 - CPU: Ultra 7 265KF - CPU Cooler: Deepcool LE720 250W AIO 360mm - RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 (2x16) DDR5 6400MHz - Motherboard: MSI Z890 Gaming Plus - PSU: Deepcool Gold Fully Modular DQ850-M-V3L 850W - Storage: Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB 4.0 NVMe M.2 (up to 7,300MB/s) - Case: Deepcool CG580 4F Panoramic ATX Mid-Tower with 4 Fans - Monitor: Neo G8 4K 240Hz 32 inch. I'm a bit skeptical about the monitor since I've seen mixed reviews, but I looked into alternatives like the LG GQ850-B 2K Nano-IPS 240Hz 32 inch. In the end, I decided to go with the Neo G8. So, does everything check out?

Honestly, I’d reconsider the CPU. Most gamers are leaning towards AM5 for future-proofing, especially with Ryzen leading the pack for gaming performance right now. If you're looking to upgrade in the next 5 years, you might regret sticking with Intel. But if you think you'll be fine for about 10 years, then it could work.
I won't be upgrading until I can't play 1080p at 144Hz anymore, so do you think it'll be a problem? I guess if I need to upgrade, I'd just get a new motherboard, which I'm okay with since it's a prebuilt and they don’t usually allow for swapping parts.
