Was going for a gaming rig that could play most games at 1440p at high settings, and this definitely fits the bill. Been playing a lot of Deathloop lately, and playing that at 1440p on high settings I average around 70 fps. And it looks great, too. Currently running it stock so I'm also open to any suggestions to getting the most performance outta this thing.

Wasted money on the NH-D15, 5600x could be cooled with box cooler, that said any decent <$30 cooler would be an upgrade.

PSU could be a 650W to save money, overkill motherboard that you have to get a wireless adapter for, if that 6700XT was truly $300 then it was a good deal.

Yeah I bought the D15 back when I was still considering an intel build (or a more demanding Ryzen CPU). 100% know it's way overkill for this CPU (but I may end up upgrading to an X3D CPU in the future, so I just consider it future-proofing). Same for the PSU just planning in case I upgrade. As for the motherboard, honestly with that I just went with what Best Buy had in stock I was too impatient to wait for the mail haha. As for the GPU, found it on facebook marketplace guy had only used it lightly for a year before upgrading. Gotta get those deals when ya can. Was a risk going used but the thing looked mint and has given me zero issues since I started running it.

Well instead of making raw list you should also show you what you already bought so we can integrate it. Using parts youve own is the best way to save massively on PC purchases. Using the gear icon on each parts or the configure button on mobile, you can set the price or merchant of choice in PCPP.

Yeah I did that this is a PC I actually just built. Looking for an appraisal more than build recommendations haha. And also pointers on getting the most out of it, of course (dabbled with some overclocks. CPU did fine but had some stability issues with the GPU)

I dont know if im being amnestic'd on but i swear those purchased flags wasnt there yesterday.

 

Then i pretty much share with what @Dukesilver27- says in this case really. The PSU is a bit of an overkill unless if youre looking forward for a 5800X3D and a 4070 or 7700XT that would come out, same with the cooling. You could try to tighten the timing but really for what it is if it performs its going.
