Could you post the full spec (including the case and any additional gubbinz)? Will help with comments.

What's your budget / how much did the system come to?

What monitor will you be pairing it with?

:)

You can make amendments to the order after purchase, which is why I ask :)

It should pair well with that monitor and do well in games.

I would suggest the CM212x cooler, ideally, for that CPU. (£10)

The WD Blue SSD is no better than a Sata SSD. I'd suggest switching to the PM961 given the relatively slim cost difference (£8) but the huge gulf in performance.

The SSHD is about £30 more than a regular HDD. However, if your favourite games will be on the SSD anyway, you won't get much benefit from the hybrid element of it, leaving you with a drive not really any better than a regular HDD.

Kinda drained on cash right now, so leaving these current elements won't be a problem when gaming, will it?

Well, the spec works out £15 cheaper with the changes I suggested...

256GB SAMSUNG PM961 M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 2800MB/R, 1100MB/W) This is what you suggest i change to? Any my thing is already at pre-production, will it go back to processing again if i change it?
