I already have a GPU (Stryx 1070) that I plan to upgrade later (same for KB, Mouse, etc)

Monitor: 2560x1440 at 165 Hz (Predator)

Use: casual gaming (e.g. Battlefield 5), light photo/video editiing, math computations

 

Would appreciate some feedback on my choices for MOBO, RAM, COOLER (should fit with my case/RAM ?).

Change cooler for better colour scheme

 

Changed SSD for better capacity/$ ratio (Samsung SSDs are notorious here)

 

Changed PSU, the EVGA G3 has flawed power protection and cost way too much even without the problem

 

Added extra case fans.
