Sure. couple weird choices tho. 32gb of ram is not at all needed 16gb is plenty.

The ssd is overkill for speed cheaper ones are more than fine.

Cooler aint great. Better to get a dark rock pro 4, sycthe ninja 5 or fuma 2.

 

Otherwise good build go for it.

This is a very solid config, but I would recommend swamping the Samsung ssd with a WD black SN750 as the performance is about the same if not better while being cheaper.

eh. Your spending wayy to much on your SSD.  you can find a decent 2TB NVME for 200, and with that you can afford a 3070.

What resolution are you planning on playing at? Asking because the answer to whether the computer will run the latest titles depends on that quite a bit.

I also would recommend going with a mere 1tb and opting for a HDD or sata SSD as larger storage so you'd be able to obtain more storage and possibly get a better GPU which matters more in games.

The 3060Ti should be fine for that. If you were planning to upgrade to say a 1440p, I would have advised towards stepping up to a RTX 3070 or a Radeon 6800

I'm sticking with the 1080p monitors all in. Not planning to ever upgrade to a 1440p monitor unless some insane card that's also budget can run very well with 1440p

I mean, either way, at this point, I don't think using a 1440p monitor would make much difference for me than a 1080p monitor, so I rather stick with the more FPS.
