That looks pretty good.

 

That 6TB drive is flippin cheap! And I think it might be a bit loud. So be prepared for that.

 

I don't love the monitor choice. I think you might want to spend the rest of your $3500 budget to get something a little nicer.

 

Something like this (but not necessarily):

An ultrawide: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CnzFf7/lg-34gp83a-b-340-3440x1440-144-hz-monitor-34gp83a-b

Or this big boi: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hCrRsY/gigabyte-aorus-fv43u-430-3840x2160-144-hz-monitor-aorus-fv43u

 

Get something worthy of that $900 GPU.

What would be a better drive? I only really chose it because idk the difference between 5200RPM 5600RPm and 7200RPM. Does it matter at all? 

 

And those monitors are a bit.. large. is the gigabyte M27Q bad in any sense? it fits every other perquisite of mine. Are there any other better 1440p 144hz+ gaming monitors?

No, it's just very middling for an otherwise high-end build, and the brightness is a bit low.

 

If you're fixed on the ~27" size, then how about this:

It depends on what you need.  Higher RPM drives will generally read/write faster.  Before SSDs were widely available, 10,000RPM hard drives were popular for high end gaming PCs.  If they're more for mass storage, then lower RPM hard drives work perfectly fine and can even be a little quieter and more power efficient.  Laptops usually use 5,400RPM hard drives to extend the battery life a little and are somewhat more reliable when powered on while being carried around.  7,200RPM has been the middle ground for performance in desktop computers for over 20 years.

Ah, makes sense. The ssd im looking at is for sure fast enough for me to not have to use a 10k rpm. Ill go with the segate 7200rpms, cause like you said its a good sweetspot.

I haven't had any major problems with it. I do find the whites really bright though
