Looks solid! Just curious, is this build mostly for playing RuneScape?
Everything looks good to me! Just a couple of thoughts:
- To save around $100, consider switching to a 990 Evo Plus instead of the 9100 Pro. There's no significant performance difference while gaming, and Gen 4 SSDs are still pretty fast for normal use.
- Also, RGB RAM seems a bit out of place with the rest of your components. If it's cheaper than non-RGB options, that's understandable, but keep in mind that you can get decent RAM for less if you shop around. Additionally, for better airflow, consider getting RAM that doesn't have RGB since it can affect cooler placement.
Thanks for the advice! I didn't realize the SSDs were that similar. I was going for the RGB RAM mainly because of price. It's so expensive right now, and I've found deals at Micro Center.
I’d suggest saving some cash and going for the 9060XT instead of the 5090. The performance difference might not be worth the price tag, especially for most games!
Haha, actually yes! Mostly OSRS!
