Hi Zacbro,

If you amend the order, the top of my list for changes would be:

Dropping to 16gb RAM (and maybe upping to 3200MHz) (32gb is overkill, better less and faster)

Dropping from the 'pro' drive to a regular 7200rpm HDD (no major difference and saves money to boost the other drive)

Getting rid of the Samsung 860 SSD and getting a M.2 NVMe like the 970 instead (much faster)

Upping the PSU the the RXM850 (more headroom for upgrades and better quality, plus fully modular)

Finally, I would look again at your GPU/screen combo. The GPU you have picked is way, way overkill for a full hd screen. Drop to the RTX270 or similar and get a 1440p, 144hz gsync screen with the savings!

If you need a little more money the 2700x AMD processor might be a good compromise - a higher res screen squeezes down the fps differences between processors and if you are streaming while gaming the extra threads are a big bonus. If you went this route you could also drop the CPU cooler a little, at least to the H100.

As above, the build is not very balanced, overspending on a lot of things for little benefit, missing out on some others. A better monitor to make use of a build of this budget seems essential.

Also that Samsung is an 860 Qvo, not Evo. It uses QLC NAND and is slowe than the evo range. I'd probably buy a WD Blue over it tbh
