spent way too much for the CPU (and the platform if AMD is considered) and SSD compared to the graphics card (assuming it's a gaming rig, not an adobe only machine), case airflow is mediocre, PSU that's overkill in wattage but can't power high power draw components properly with its OPP issue.

Thank you for the feedback! So the psu is too much wattage? Would I be better off keeping the psu and upgrading to a higher level graphics card? If so what would yall recommend? BTW I'm using this computer for trading and gaming. I based most of my part decisions off of this website.

I think the wattage is ok, specially if you are going to be upgrading your gpu in the future or maybe adding a multi displays for trading. Just out of curiosity which platform are you currently using?
