Rate my pc specs/pairing/setup

On a scale of Google Earth to carpet, I rate it as a Bok Choy.

Hope that helps

60% Keyboard

I just picked up a pair of no-name 60% keyboards and I must say, they are very nice space savers, I'm hooked now.

Wouldn't be asking, after it's already built. More likely to get a comment that gives you some level of buyers remorse.

Are you happy with it? Does it meet your needs? Then it's a 10/10. Stop looking for subjective validation from strangers on the internet. 

Basically this.

idk if it falls under public validation, im just curious to know what other veteran pc builders would think of the money that i have spent and the components ive paired. basically did i got the best or worst value out of my money.

dont get me wrong, i love the thing i’ve built. but i’d like to know which ball park i stand in so that in future i could do better with my money.

you dont have to be this pressed about a random internet post where a guy just wants to know/learn about other’s opinion on his rig. be as direct and critique towards the build in terms of pairing stuff.

like ofc, no one wants to see a i3 10100F paired with a rtx 4080.

which might be plain obvious but the gap diminishes closer we get to mid tier products.

Short answer.... No.

 

4k Canadian could have gotten quite a bit more performance.

This was during the time my desk was tidy, it usually ends up in a mess within a week xD That Alex drawer is now full of stickers from LTT and various of other stuff.

Basically the type comment I was talking about. Better to ask before you're already built.

 

Using ca.pcpartpicker.com, and checking online for item prices not listed, I have you at about $3450 (before tax). Granted you had to buy all your peripherals, it seems, but one of my bigger issues with the build is you spent more on your CPU cooler than you did your CPU. Just doesn't make sense, but at least it will likely handle a future upgrade (provided it's still good and no tooling changes are required). Also, you probably have more fans than you need - depending how you have it setup, the front fans are either creating all sorts of turbulence as dual-intakes blowing into each other, or the side is exhausting cool air before it even makes it to components (looks like the former, but I'm not sure).

 

I won't knit pick the whole thing with my subjective opinions, but some money spent in those two places could have gone to a better CPU or GPU, imo.

 

End of the day, if you like it and it's meeting your needs, the rest doesn't matter too much.
