This is awfully lopsided... 900D with an rx 480; 1000 watt power supply as well; a sound card too; no SSD, 32gb RAM. And then there's a predator X34...

 

What is your budget? I could probably make a better one.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Why you need a large case?

You can get cheap Windows 10 from Kinguin.

PSU overkill.
RAM overkill for gaming.
Monitor overkill. Furthermore the RX480 can't do 4k 60hz in ultra settings.
Why you need a sound card?
Why you need DVD drive nowadays?
