RE: "First Build. Please review it. Thank you."

I cross-posted my previous "First Build - please review it. Thanks." on PCPP and Reddit. I read a lot of reviews/ opinions and looked further into some components. Now, I believe, it is completed. Anyways.. please review it.

Intended usecase:

  • Variety-Gaming with high-ish settings and constant frames
  • video and picture editing as a hobby (nothing professional)
  • maybe CAD applications in the future as well as other programs regarding my upcoming engineering degree

 

What I own (from my old pre-build PC): Monitor, 240GB SSD & additional old 1tb Toshiba HDD I am currently looking out for a 1440p OLED Monitor.

Location: Germany

Budget: around 2000EUR (I'm currently dead on since I need to add the monitor)

Please let me know if I ran into any bottlenecks or price/ performance issues.
