Hey everyone! I'm finally ready to upgrade my PC after what feels like forever, and I'm planning to keep my Intel Core i7-10700KF CPU and Asus PRIME Z590M-PLUS motherboard. I mainly play modded single-player games like Skyrim and various MMOs, and I'm looking to step up to 2K gaming. I've put together a list of components on PCPartPicker, but I could really use your advice, especially on the right case and monitor to go with my setup. Here's what I have so far: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yChPGJ)

Make sure to double-check your power supply wattage! The NZXT C850 you've listed should be enough, but it's always good to have a little overhead, especially for future upgrades.
Your build looks solid, but I'd suggest you consider a different CPU option. Intel isn't the best value right now, and going with a Ryzen 7700 plus a B650M motherboard could save you some cash. If you don't have RAM already, it's a good way to upgrade and get faster performance!
I get that! I’ve had my fair share of Intel builds, but the latest Ryzen chips are really competitive. You would get a significant boost for gaming!
Just a heads up, your total can stack up pretty quickly! You might want to check this alternative build I made; it fits the budget and still gives you great performance. [Link to pt](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pkNnKq)
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into it before finalizing my order.
