Case is a bit ancient.

 

Should have saved some cash with the 3700X. The 3800X is a bit pointless unless you got it for the same price.

 

I would have gone 2 x 16GB on the ram. Also 3600 is a bit pointless unless it is the same price as 3000 - 3200 as it is easy to overclock ram.

 

Sabrent Rocket would have been a better (Cheaper) option for the SSD.

 

The cooler is a bit OTT.

 

You don't need a soundcard.

So micro center was out of the 3200 speed neo, didn’t feel like waiting 

 

yeah the sound cards kinda useless, but got that from a guy I know for cheap, fills space?

 

and what can I say, I didn’t want to buy a new case

Fair enough on the Ram then ?

 

Yeah most boards have pretty good audio these days. Seems like a decent enough soundcard though so no harm using it.

 

Case is fine if you already own it. I assumed you had bought it along with your other parts.
