Hey everyone! I've finally decided to upgrade my setup after years of waiting. I'm aiming to build a powerful rig capable of running 4K games at high frame rates but without emptying my wallet completely. I've put together a build and would love feedback on it—especially if you have suggestions for better quality components that won't significantly increase the cost. I feel a bit out of the loop with PC building again, so any help is greatly appreciated! Here's the build link: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mwKMWc. Thanks!

I recommend getting a more recent power supply that has a 12V-2x6 connector—like the NZXT C850 Gold ATX 3.1. It's top-rated for its price! Also, while the Lancool 207 case is decent, you might want to look into something like the Corsair 4000D or NZXT H7 Flow for a better aesthetic and airflow.
Your build looks solid overall! One thing I'd consider is upgrading the motherboard to something a bit more robust, but if you’re keeping it budget-friendly, the one you picked does the job. Also, switching out the SSD for a Western Digital SN850X could save you some cash while still providing a top-notch performance. Cheers!
I'll definitely check out the motherboard suggestion. Thanks for the tip on the SSD too!
This build seems pretty good! I’d suggest getting a newer PSU with a 12Vhpwr cable. The Montech CENTURY II 1050W is a great option that provides more wattage at a lower price. Your motherboard choice looks solid too, but the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk Wi-Fi could offer better VRM and USB options for your setup. Definitely worth checking out!
Awesome, thanks for the insights! I'll look into that motherboard for sure for some added functionality.
That sounds good! I’ll consider switching to the H7 Flow. Thanks!
