how are u getting your 3060?? 

[kendrick lamar]

looks pretty good to me, few notes:

 

1. you could go for much cheaper SSD and get the same results, perhaps SN750.

2. AIO is not relevant unless you chose it for the looks. a good air fan like Arctic Freezer 34 DUO or Noctua U12S will be just fine.

3. could go for B450 mobo and save a buck, no difference at all in gaming.

4. don't cheap out on your keyboard and headset come on man. you must get a decent mechanical keyboard and a good headset.

5. get a USB3 flash drive, it really doesn't cost much

This is very overkill for almost anyone. Get a 1tb nvme ssd but it doesnt have to be as fast as the mp600

I'd be very careful with your windows 10 option. I strongly recommend just buying from microsoft. Its more money, but I wouldn't risk going your proposed route, as third party key sites like this have some shady and scammy behavior. URCDKEYS.com isn't the most trustworthy. I recommend just getting it free from microsoft, and eventually activating a license once you save enough to buy it

I mean, at the end of the day if its a scam you're losing, what, 18 bucks? If you're willing to gamble, go ahead i guess. Just know that it either may not work as intended, or may just be a complete scam and will sell your email address so for the next year you will get Free Minecraft With Punjabi and other scam emails.

No problem man! I have made much much worse mistakes trying to shave a couple bucks; we are all human.

Personally I'd go 4000D Airflow or 5000D Airflow and some rgb fans
