This is a brand new pc for gaming waifu, currently using a 2016 walmart family pc. She LOVES rgb, so I would love someone to look at the list and see what needs fixing or attention, or incompatibilities, would like this to last a long time. My first time building (will def watch linus build video), she uses a 1080p 60hz monitor, plays mostly korean mmos.

SSD: Would rather get an m.2 NVME than a m.2 sata drive(prices are not the far apart). I think crucial would be a good balance of speed and price

Add-ins: Do you really need an optical drive?

 

Over-all good build

Thanks! I swapped to a crucial m.2, removed optical drive. Are wifi mobos worth the extra money?
