Alright, fair enough! Honestly, I’m not losing any sleep over modularity. What actually matters to me is making sure the core components are rock solid—like the motherboard and the RAM. Sure, I could have opted for some budget-friendly alternatives there, but at this stage, the price difference is negligible. As for the GPU, I’ve been crunching the numbers and I don't think I could have squeezed a better card out of this specific budget, though I'm still keeping an eye on it. This one seems like a pretty sweet spot.
Hey there!
I’ve put together a potential build here, and I’d love to get some feedback or suggestions from the group. Basically, I'm wondering if anything looks out of place, if I should swap something out, or if I'm overspending on parts I don't actually need. 🙂
