Looking for some advice on this build
Looking for some advice on this build
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

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.
Oh yeah it was discovered that they had backdoors in their motherboards. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-motherboards-come-with-a-firmware-backdoor
Yikes! That's pretty shady. I never cam across that article, thanks for mentioning it! Gonna swap that motherboard asap
Okay, thanks for letting me know. I might go for an MSI or Asus motherboard then. I think the Gigabyte board was just a couple euros cheaper but it was insignificant :D
