I put this build together and am now looking for some opinions and advice before I buy the components. Any components that you would change or spend less on?

I plan to use this PC mostly for gaming in 1440p (MW2, Elden Ring, Resident Evil, FF7 Remake, Cities Skylines, Civilization 6, Elder Scrolls Online, and many upcoming AAA titles) and would like the build to last me at least as long as my current build has lasted (6 years now!).

I have a spare 2TB SATA SSD that I will reuse in this build. My budget is around 2000€, although the monitor is making me go above that :D

      Oh, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info, I’ll swap the RAM for the 6000MHz version!

    Looks fine. You might save some money on the PSU by choosing another one from A tier here and by lowering the wattage. ~800W is more than enough for that build and for the future

    Is your country not supported in https://pcpartpicker.com/?

      Honestly, I wasn’t sure about the PSU. I was gonna get a 850W one but it was not in stock, so I picked the 1000W one instead.

      My country is supported by pcpartpicker, I just entered the prices manually because most of the prices were off when I looked them up on the vendor’s website.

      For the 980 Pro, if I’m not mistaken it requires a firmware update to make it run properly.

    Just from my personal experience, I won’t ever again buy anything Gigabyte branded. If you want it to last 6 years it won’t with Gigabyte. Bad warranty coverage, bad customer service, bad build. For power supply I have EVGA. No issues. Motherboard I have Asus TUF series in my builds. For monitor, I use AOC. The customer service I got from them when I screwed up and cracked mine unexpected in a great way.

    Oh and I’m jealous of the rest of the build. I want that graphic card.

    I would get a 2TB SSD instead of 1TB. The size of games these days is insane!

      I already have a 2TB SSD in my current build that I will reuse in the new one.

    Consider 980 PRO instead of 970 EVO. In my country, it is $10 more on Amazon but the rated read/write speeds are significantly higher.

    Your PSU is way over the top. 1000W and gold? If you were to use ultra high end power hungry components I would understand but thats hardly the case here. 750W would work.
