New Gaming Desktop

[Khayban]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to get some feedback on this build before I order.
I will be mainly gaming ( Civ 6, GTA 6, Balders gate, WoW) and I will be using this at home and taking my gaming laptop on the road with me.
My Budget is around 2k but I do have plenty of wiggle room, I just don't think I need to spend more for the type of gaming I do but any advice gratefully appreciated.

What monitor will you be using, make and model, or resolution & refresh rate?

Build looks spot on but above query will address whether the GPU is suitable or not

Hi, my current monitor is :
Dell 27 Curved Gaming Monitor – S2722DGM
I may upgrade in future if my spec deserves it

1440p 165Hz curved VA display. It's not what I'd buy today, but it's a very decent monitor and would go well with the build above.

The one tweak I'd make to your build would be to add more storage: I'd go for a 2TB secondary drive at this kind of budget. You're arguably overspending on fans (and arguably on power supply, though I'd say that very cautiously as over-speccing is a good idea and I have that exact model in my own PC!); I'd spend on things that actually affect how well your PC games before I spend on those that don't.

But otherwise, bang on, I'd say.
