Temptation to push memory speed.  I dunno what things cost atm though so it might be out of budget.  I don’t see any serious problems.  Storage strikes me as overly expensive, particularly the HDD.  Why pay for extra speed on a storage drive?  You’ve already got a 1tb ssd so you won’t be running anything off it.

I'd go for a 5700XT instead of the 2070S. No RTX, and 5-10% less performance, but over $100 cheaper.

I'm assuming the G3 was an error, as it's out of stock. The PP11CM is a great option.

But if you get a 5700 XT, get a decent one!

Paying cheap comes with a big difference in quality.

This card is much cheaper and not that bad compared to other cards.

They fixed the mounting pressure issues awhile back.
