Budget (including currency): $1600

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CoD, Cs:GO, Rocket League

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 


I put this build together and was hoping to get some feedback on it. Is there anything that I should change about it?

This PC is balanced very well and will be much more than enough for the games you play. I personally would not change anything (at least for the games you play).

But now, fellow gamers, that was it for me. Please keep in mind, that this is just my personal opionion and I am no expert. Your system shall be cooled forever, see you next time.

Do you really need that activated windows? You can do all the personalization stuff on windows before connecting to Internet.

Do not get the 3800X, get the 3700X, its almost 40$ cheaper and almost same performance. Do you already have a SSD? Probs wanna get one of that if not. And Idk if you want a ATX mobo, but you can get a B550 mATX mobo thats good quality at cheaper

Whoops. Forgot to add a SSD. Updated the build with SSD. Downgraded the monitor a little to adjust for cost. went a little over but it's fine.
Does this still look good?
