Hi,
I'm preparing to order the parts for my build, would appreciate opinion and second thoughts.
Budget & location - a tad less than the total price on pcpartpicker. Israel
Aim - 1080p 144hz Gaming. I plan on using this rig for Cyberpunk and Star Citizen in addition to other heavy titles.
Peripherals and monitors - irrelevant at the current moment, not currently looking to buy.
Why are you upgrading - my rig is from 2015 and cannot run stuff so well anymore. In addition, I had to replace my mobo in mid-2019 after my original one gave out. Since then, I cannot run games very well anymore. Time for an upgrade.
Here is the list:

Some important insight:
I'll be buying several of the parts locally and that's why it might seem like they might be too expensive in the list: PSU, Case, SSD.
The rest I plan on buying from Amazon.
I was interested at first in picking up the RX 5700/5700 XT, but I am not interested in the potential driver issues.
Would appreciate all thoughts! Thanks in advance.
