My first pc build

[JDP]

My build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wVcZKX

I mainly want to use this PC for gaming. The PC I have now can't handle anything, so I wanted a big upgrade.

I already ordered the parts (besides the monitor). Are there any major problems that are worth stressing about? For the monitor, should I get the GIGABYTE GS27Q or the MSI G272QPF (or are there any better alternatives)? I have already spent around 1500 USD and don't want to spend too much more (I want the monitor to be 1440p and around 120hz or 144hz).

[Why_Me]

You want DDR5-6000 CL30 seeing how games benefit from low latency RAM. Here's a case with better airflow, low latency RAM, better quality psu, SSD, etc ... The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for an exhaust fan.

so you ordered the PC parts already?

 

yeah, @Why_Me's got you covered, the RAM is good, and higher quality SSD that won't slow to turtle mode when trying to move/read/install big games/programs/stuff

AMD sligthly > Nvidia if you don't care about RT (and VRAM diff)

If the OP wanted to keep the cost closer to $1400 then this would be the way to run that build imo.
