Hey fellow gamers,

Just finished building my gaming setup, and I'm eager to get your thoughts and ratings!
I've optimized it for Counter-Strike 2, but I also want it to be futureproof for upcoming FPS games.
How do you think it'll perform? Any suggestions for improvements or tweaks?

Im not sure if I should go with Intel or AMD ?

Monitor: MSI Optix MAG Series 165Hz, 1500R, 2560x1440p, 1ms
Usage: Gaming

Your feedback means a lot! Thanks in advance for taking the time to rate my rig. 🔥💻

I'd go quite a different way. Moving over to an AMD platform, you can get way more performance, and generally save money. This means we can even upgrade the graphics card further: this will be an outrageously good 1440p gaming PC:

Case
FRACTAL NORTH TG GAMING CASE (WHITE)
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) The best gaming CPU, end of story
