Do you need more storage?

Keep the monitors and the RAM and try this build

I would go AMD because it gives a much better upgrade path, as the AM5 socket would be supported longer.

 

As for the motherboard, it is good quality and pretty cheap, but the only caveat is that it only has PCIe Gen 4 x16 slots, so you can't take advantage of PCIe Gen 5 graphics card in the future, but there are very insignificant amount of gen 5 AMD motherboards in the market, so that is a problem for another day.

You had a very well put together system, well done 8/10. 

 

I've optimized it a bit. AIO's are only worth getting 360mm or bigger. Niche cases a 280mm is ok. If you only care for looks and not cost, ignore.

I've changed to faster memory.

Given you storage.

Same rated PSU just fully modular, easier to build in.

 

Solid foundations already. While I strongly recommend you spend this extra over cap we can cost cut to get under you max budget cap but then your system wouldn't be white anymore and you'd have a black GPU:

At the moment i don't need more storage as i recently bought a 2 TB M.2

 

I will keep this setup in mind

It was also my reason for choosing AMD

 

That is a good point, hadn't really thought about that

I wasn't really sure if it was the best option to go with an AIO or aircooling.

I have storrage, so i didn't put it on there, but i properly should have specified that

 

The white theme is not that important i only choose the white case because when i looked at it, it was cheaper. I'm gonna place it under a desk anyway. I currently have a Corsair Obsidian 750D Full Tower and i don't really need that big of a case. It is also one of the things i will upgrade later.

 

It dosen't need to be the Lian Li case, just read that it had good airflow
