Client asked for RGB Memory, RGB AIO and RGB Case. This list is assuming he will wait for 3060 TI at retail price.

mobo is definitely too expensive, max 150. For storage I would put in a large NVME like an SN550 instead of a BX, not to expensive (maybe drop the 500 gig nvme you had before in that case). Also, the 750w CXM is $5 more than 650w, so I would just put that in.

you're paying ffor a huge RGB tax with that cooler and ram. also mobo is expensive and not really needed.

Hey,

I must say I really like your attitude. If your client asks something and you don't know how to perfect it and you go online. Its not something people tend to do which is stupid in my opinion.

You must learn to balance components and realizing every use has its own balance.

for gaming you need a good GPU with a decent cpu paired to it.

Of course you don't need to neglect other components and their quality.

I would go for a much cheaper motherboard since you don't need all of the features involved with it to run this system.

going with a quality B450\B550 mobo would be the best option.

the water cooling is not necessary even if he wants to overclock. If he wants RGB AIO there are quality but cheap ones.

RAM is fine by me. good quality and has RGB which of course the client will like. you can find other cheaper substitutes if you want to.

Could go for a cheaper case but if this is client's budget then why not.

with all of those savings you can probably fit a better graphics card or 5600X CPU.

more performance = client is happy

with some fine optimization you can get better hardware for less money.
