Hey everyone! I'm diving into my first PC build and I'm looking for some feedback. I want to make sure all the parts are compatible, but I'm also open to suggestions for any upgrades or cheaper alternatives. My main use for this PC will be gaming—both online FPSs and single-player games. I'm planning to dual boot Ubuntu on a 2TB SSD and run Windows on a 1TB SSD. My budget is around $2,000, but I'm a bit flexible. Here's the link to my build for reference: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q8mmsp.

Definitely consider swapping out that power supply unit (PSU). It’s designed for small form factor builds and might not handle your setup well. Also, if you're looking at the Gen 5 2TB SSD, I suggest switching to a Gen 4 instead. You'll save some money and won’t really notice a difference in performance for gaming.
Thanks for the tips! I appreciate the insight on the Gen 5 SSD—it’s great to know I can save some cash there. About the PSU, can you recommend a sturdier option? Is it about the wattage or just its fit in my case?
