Only for gaming right?

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

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!

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.

if for just gaming, 2.5k budget is kind of really overkill

If OP wants to spend that kind of money then this build would be good. Although some people advise against Seagate HDDs

Not sure what you're going on about. I said that budget is overkill for just gaming, but if he wants to spend that kind of money then your build is good.
