Way overkill for a chip that draw like 80W max in overclocking gaming...

This PSU not great, it's worse than TXm in build quality according to Jonnyguru.. there is a bitfenix formula gold 550 for $70 on newegg, or a CX550 for $60. And there was a thermaltake GX1 (simliar quality to CX im guessing, not same plattform) for $45 600W few days earlier, as well as enermax platimax 500W for $50...

Cmon, its almost 2020... and we are still recommending $260 TN 144hz 1080p panels when same resolution and refresh rate, better color accuracy and reproduction quality VA panels can be found for $170 (MSI Mag240VC optix)

I did not recommend the $260 TN panel that I listed, I dispise panels like these. I appreciate your pointers on the PSU and cooler, but the other components I did not pick.

 

If you look at OP's PCPartPicker list, I blatantly copied it to save time, and to maintain some of OP's personal preferences. The point of the list was just to give OP an idea on what could be improved. I spent 5 minutes on this parts list as a mock-up, obviously it's not perfect. I described it as a quick mock-up in my post.
