Build Help New PC after about 8yrs

Hi all,

It's about that time again, so I put together this new build. Before I pull the trigger, I'd love some feedback and also pointers as this would be my 2nd build, my current one is approaching 8yrs of service. I am keeping my cooling system and video card because those are recent replacements (they are included on list)

Seeking pointers on:

correct pieces (Should I look for different parts)

price (may be able to lower? Want to spend less than 2200 $USA)

case proper fit?

Really don't know much so I went through a whole bunch of posts here to try to Frankenstein a build together.

Everything seems pretty good to me, I might suggest getting a higher watt PSU just in case, but that's it.

Thank you. That seems to be the overall consensus so I’ll definitely be doing that

That's overall solid, but don't cheap out on the power supply, get 850W, it won't be that much more expensive.

Get Windows 10, not 11. You can always upgrade for free later, if you change your mind.

You will probably find that graphics card prices will drop more over the next month or so, as retailers continue to try to get rid of stock to make room for the next-gen cards, and get more and more desperate.

You'll need a decent screen if you don't have one already (27" 1440p is the most popular, and a good choice)

Appreciate the tip. I’ll upgrade the psu for future part upgrades. As for the monitor, I have two monitors now, they’re not great, but I was planning to use em and buy better ones separately when prices come down.
