    Not So Great Dane got a reaction from Kilrah in Rtx 3080 overkill?   
    I am going for the D15 mostly because I like how it looks.

    In this range of 75 Hz Monitors i dont think ASUS can do anything wrong.
    If you Need them to look the same i'd say go for it.
     
    Altough you can typically get the AOC 24G2 144Hz 24" variant at the same price here in germany.
    And thats a HardwareUnboxed "verified" good panel.

    My recommendation is to get the same monitor, that way you won't have a color difference and you know what to expect.

    Here's a revised list with a better motherboard, better ram with tighter timings, NVMe SSD, case with better airflow and a reasonable PSU. You won't need 750W at all, even the 650 I went with are a ton, but it's priced well that's why I went with it. If it has to be fully modular, go with the CoolerMaster MWE Gold ($99.99) instead.

    You didn't specify what you will be using the machine for, so I didn't upgrade any parts with the money I saved. But you could potentially get a 3700X or a 2080 Super with your budget and the adjustments we suggested.

    You'll be able to flash the B450 bios to support Ryzen 3000 as well, AMD backpedaled on that. If you don't need PCIe 4.0, B450 is an option for sure. Or wait for B550 which should release soon - pricing will be $130 and upwards as well from what I've seen so far. The Asus PRIME X570-P is a good board and it's rarely in stock these times, I haven't seen it for this price in weeks.

    cooler is pretty bad for the money. motherboard is bad, see advice above.
    samsung drive is overpriced, you can get a nvme drives that's 4 times as fast for the same money
    a 550w psu would be enough.

    I was doing research on x570 boards and I did not hear good things about that board. idk what others have to say as I have not used it. I think the VRM cooling was subpar compared to others in the same price rage or even lower cost and maybe the VRM was not the best either I forgot exactly.
     
    But I would suggest to get like a gigbyte aorus elite or TUF. maybe see what others say but GL finding a board in stock rn
     
    the rest looks fine to me

    Not So Great Dane reacted to Enderman in USB or PCI WIFI?   
    Well first of all, wifi sucks, especially for gaming.
     
    Second, if you know you need wifi and you're buying a motherboard you might as well just buy one with it built in.
     
    And third, USB wifi adapters suck so get PCIe.

    Personally, if its only $10-20 more or something along those lines to get a decent board with wifi built in, and you need wifi, get that. If not it shouldn't really matter as long as whatever you get works.
