Gaming PC build review
Gaming PC build review
Hi! Building a gaming PC for a friend, looking to spend about 1300$ USD. Will need to include a monitor as well. He’s looking to play some AAA and some esports games, was trying to get a 1440 setup with ability to upgrade in the future. Would you make any changes to what I’ve put together?

Looks good to me. The only thing you might consider is getting a 2tb drive instead. You can find some for the same price as the 1 tb Samsung. Not just no-name brands either. A 1tb drive fills up with games in no time.

I have two 1TB drives (Crucial P5 for system, P3 for Games), and as long as you have a good Internet connection, it's not hard to manage space. I am fortunate to have 1Gbps for a decent price in my area, for example.
That said, if you don't have a good internet connection (< 200Mbps), having more storage to keep games installed is probably the better option.
This is really good advice, thank you! One of the things I regret about my current build is only having 1 TB of space.
I have a 500gb SSD that I paid the same amount for as a 2tb SSD costs now. Ram and SSD prices are super good right now. I'd say 32gb ram and 2tb SSD is definitely worth it for the price of the whole system.
