Are these specs good for a gaming pc?

 

Cost AUD$801 including build cost, using my GPU and PSU so don't have to buy them because I already have them. Might also buy a RTX 3060Ti or a RTX 2070 Super soon.

Processor good. You can switch the board to an ASRock H410M-HDV/M.2 to save money since you're only using a 10th Gen, because you're paying $70 extra to make your board compatible with 11th Gen processors (but you're not using an 11th Gen). Your board only supports RAM speeds from 2133 to 2933, so using a 3200 would, yes, still work but you can save some money by going with Crucial Ballistix, or T-Force Delta RGB 2666MHz RAM, as 2666 is a good enough speed. You might want to switch the SSD to a ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB, since you need a B+M-key compatible slot if you wanna use the WD Green, and the H410M-HDV/M.2 does not have the B+M-key compatible slot. Although you spend $30 more for the SSD, at least it'll be compatible with your board. Graphics good. Case good. Power supply IMO can be changed, because I'd doubt the PC will reach above 400W, even if you use an RTX 3060Ti, so you can throw in a CX550 from Corsair and it'll save you $100.

 

And after that, you're good to go.

maybe if you want to switch your ssd to sata and get 1 tb for roughly the same price. the gpu is good and case is personal so nothing to complain about hope that helped Btw that pc is great and im just searching for small improvments you can do
