Hey everyone! I'm reaching out for some advice on my custom gaming PC build. You can check out my build here: [PCPartPicker Link](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Rm3bsp). I'll primarily be using this PC for multiplayer games like League of Legends, and I often record my gameplay while streaming on Discord for my friends, so multitasking is key for me. I work with two 1440p monitors, usually gaming on one while watching videos on the other.
I'm looking for any compatibility issues or suggestions on optimizing my build for cost versus performance. My goal is to future-proof this setup, ensuring it can handle multitasking and potentially more demanding games down the line. Ideally, I want this PC to last 8+ years. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! 😀

You could save some cash like this: [Cost-effective Build Link](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/8gFtxg). The extra expense for higher speed Gen 5 doesn't really boost gaming performance; it's more for fast data transfers like recording files often. Plus, the X870E isn’t necessary for gaming, you could go for the B850 and save money. Right now, 64GB RAM is pretty pricey, and from what you’re doing, I don’t see a need for that much. I use 32GB DDR5 and it handles everything you mentioned.
Thanks for the tips! Sticking to 32GB RAM sounds great to me. I do prefer the X870E for its Wifi 7 support, though. I’ll see if I can find a similar board that also offers that but is a bit cheaper!
