Correct, OS on the SSD. Install programs and your favourite / most played games on the SSD.

it is easy to move games between an HDD and SSD (you can do it through Steam for instance) so if you stop playing a game but do not want to uninstall it altogether, you can just switch it over to the HDD and make room on the SSD for a different game.

Looks okay to me.
Drop the sound card. And I would add in 2 extra case fans, as the 275R is not brilliant for airflow and only comes with 1 fan. Assuming you really want that case.
Don't buy 2 of those monitors. No need for your 2nd monitor to be 144hz as well. You are only gaming on 1 at a time! :) If you want a 2nd 1440p monitor, go with the IIYAMA PROLITE B2791QSU-B1



ok what second nonito you sugest since it doesnt need to be 1440p aswel? also i dont mind which case,, what ever would be best for my build

Picked a case that is good fir airflow, to help keep the GPU cool, without being super expensive. It's the same kind of thing as the V200 you initially picked (RGB, tempered glass) but has good airflow.

Just use your existing monitor as a 2nd monitor. If it's a 24" 1080p bog standard monitor, that's fine. Or do you mean you want 3 monitors total?

The IIYAMA G-MASTER GB2760QSU-B1 27" includes a DisplayPort cable in the box, according to the iiyama website.

EDIT: and the TXm PSU added.

I would avoid the 275R as it's not ideal for airflow. It would probably be fine, but maybe the H500 would be the better choice from a cooling point of view.

Otherwise looks great to me.

I saw in your quote above you had this:
Webcam
Logitech® HD Webcam C920 - 1080p recording & 720p video calling
I believe there is a newer version released by Logitech that supports 1080p steaming. I'm not sure, webcams aren't something I'm very familiar with, but you might want to look into webcams separately from PCS's selection

We love you Ukraine

With the new Zen 2 processors (AMD 3000 series) Intel have lost the crown except for a very few usage scenario's.

AMD smash Intel all over the place for multithreaded and price vs performance.

Plus Intel chips are riddled with security flaws that have to be patched at the software level but are still not fixed at a hardware level. Each patch further reduces performance.

Plus AMD motherboards are now on PCIe 4, whereas Intel are stuck on PCIe 3 and have no view to updating because they're stuck on an old manufacturing process.

You'd have to be crazy to buy Intel anymore.
