Hey everyone! I'm gearing up for a LAN party soon and decided to treat myself to an upgrade since it's bonus time at work. I'm looking to build a capable gaming setup that can handle current and upcoming AAA titles comfortably, particularly games like Monster Hunter: Wilds and the new Elden Ring DLC. Unfortunately, I can only buy a pre-built due to company policy and settled on a shop with the best average prices for components. I'll be using my old GTX 1080 to keep costs down until I get reviews of the 9060XT. Could you guys take a look at my build and let me know if there are any glaring issues? Thanks a bunch!

Your RAM choice is decent, but you might want to aim for CL30 rated RAM instead for optimal performance. Other than that, the build looks solid!
For your monitor, I'd suggest going for a 1440p 27-inch with 180Hz refresh rate. It'll future-proof your setup since you can still play 1080p games on a 1440p screen without much hassle.
True, but keep in mind that playing 1080p games on a 27-inch 1440p monitor may not look great. The larger display can make the lower resolution appear blurry unless you play in windowed mode.
Good catch! I hadn't thought about that. Thanks for the tip!
