Hey Everyone!

Been a while since I've checked in, Hope everyone has been well.

So I've got a build coming up for a buddy of mine who is going to be using this mainly for running COD and Fortnite ( Maybe some other modern FPS's as well)

I put this together quickly last night and just wanted yall's opinion as I've haven't been keeping up with the latest (My last rig was built in 2020)

I'm pretty sure i can cut back on this mobo in an effort to upgrade the gpu a bit as he won't be doing any OC'ing, but Let me know!

Looks good to me, really. I wouldn't go much less on the board... but if he isn't overclocking.... if that means another bump on the GPU, I'd do it for sure.

Maybe a 27" monitor and a better videocard?

Ok cool, thanks guys!
Dropped the monitor down to 27” (honestly didn’t even realize I picked a 32” lol) so got about another $100 to spare. What’s the next step (or half step) up GPU wise?

Maybe a 3070 ti

if anything shop around for a Windows 11 Pro license. It'll be easier in the long run
