I would want to use this PC for about 5 years and to be easily compatible with future components. And i don't mind waiting a month for shipping.

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated 

 

Thank you

Okay so that SSD at that price very likely DRAM less could go with a 500GB and 2TB HDD, that PSU I don’t know much about it but it’s a little to cheap

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help

TeamGroup is pretty solid actually, should be on par with most bigger brands. I would go with a NVME SSD though.

As mentioned, that power supply is a lil suspect. Also, a 2 or 4 TB HDD isn't much more  $ than the 1TB.

don't build right now unless you absolutely need to. the new hardware coming up will give you more performance for the same money (or just save money if you keep the current config)
