What do you think of my build, any changes you’d make?

Gpu, 2nd ssd, and 64 ram have not been purchased yet, but are planned.

If we have no context to why this list exists, it's quite impossible to offer any advice.

What is your workload? Why did you pick the parts you did? What are you prioritizing? Do you have needs or requirements we should be aware of?

That’s a fair point, I’d like to be able to game at as peak performance as I can get, while also being able to stream. Most of the parts I have were impulsively purchased due to friend recommendations and hype like the i9.

Then this build is whack. 10th gen core CPU? Overpriced motherboard? 96gb ram?

Just get the new Ryzen 9800x3d CPU. Reviews are out and it's the undisputed king of gaming cpus now. It also requires less cooling so you can save on that with just a peerless assassin or something. Get a cheaper mobo, 64gb of ram.

The i9 wasn’t a recent purchase, should I still look into replacing it, and Is it a bad cpu for gaming?

It's 4(or is it 5?) generations old now. Newer cpus will run circles around it.

Here's just one review of the new Ryzen 9800x3d. It's the best gaming CPU now and other reviews confirm it too.

Damn, had no clue it was that old. I’ll definitely look into the Ryzen 9800x3d, thanks for the suggestion!

I'm a bit confused why you bought a 10th Gen CPU, and an i9 at that considering more cores is pointless for gaming. Modern streaming offloads encoding on the GPU anyways.

96GB of memory is entirely illogical, there's like 1 game where over 32GB might make a difference for a few players. No idea why you would go 64GB, much less 96GB. More capacity is meaningless, we're talking about capacity here.

Storage decision is questionable, not sure why you have 2 SSDs selected. It's probably cheaper to buy a single 4TB one, and doesn't take up 2 slots for no reason. I would also question the HDD, but I don't know your other storage requirements.

You could get a 850W of the same PSU and be fine.

Honestly, I would suggest going to r/buildapcforme and asking someone create a build list for you, or go to https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/ and use one of their lists. The money you intend on spending should net you something much better and more logical.

I appreciate the feedback, I’ll look into the links you posted, and yeah I kinda feel stupid now lol.

I’m not well versed with computers, I should’ve done more research instead of just taking someone’s word.

I was convinced getting more ram would allow me to use both my monitors, for ideling and grinding.

The more is better mentality took over, and for the ssd, I was told that my games would preform better on them, my current ssd is pretty much full, so I figured I’d double up.

Luckily I haven’t purchased the ram or ssd yet. But for the cpu I’ve had it for a few years maybe 3, don’t even know why I have it tbh.
