RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 32GB (2x16) DDR4-3200 Cl16

Storage: Kingston NV2 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME

GPU: Gainward RTX 3060 Ti

Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow

PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold 750W (from my old PC)

 

 

Additional Info: Plan to use the PC with 2 monitors, main one for gaming being an Acer Nitro XV272U P (already bought): https://www.acer.com/my-en/monitors/gaming/nitro-xv2/pdp/UM.HX2SM.P01. Other monitor is only 1080p and mainly for work. I plan to run games at 1440p 144Hz.

I also plan to swap the PSU from my old PC, so there will be no cost there.

No peripherals or OS needs to be bought.

Reason for upgrade is I currently have an i7-3770k (which often maxes out and causes lag) and a gtx 1050 ti (which can't run modern games at 1080p 60fps), so I decided a new build would be a good idea.

 

Do you think this is a good mix of parts for the budget, and if not how would you improve it? Also there is that warning in partpicker with the BIOS potentially needing an update, and I read that the MSI Pro B660-M A does not have BIOS flashback, so if you have any experience with this motherboard/processor combo I would appreciate if you could share that as well.

 

Thank you!
