Let me know if I shared the link to the build correctly

My current PC is probably almost 10 years old now and really held up well. Now she’s finally hitting her mark. A friend had built her that’s no longer around so now I am on my own for building my next one.

For context as to what I do… I have dual monitors (that thankfully don’t need upgrading) and I mostly am a gamer. I always have discord open and usually music/youtube running while I game. I play both multiplayer online games (where winds meet for example, my current PC can’t even really handle PVP in it) and huge modded games like Skyrim with a trillion mods.

Are these parts good for what I need? Did I accidentally pick more expensive models when I’d be just fine with older ones?

Any parts on sale that I should buy RIGHT NOW?

I haven’t picked a case yet… is there anything in particular I need to look for in a case? Any advice or correction is sorely appreciated !

This is mostly just me venting. I was a student at Art Institutes of Illinois straight out of high school. I went there due to one of the exact reasons they got in trouble. A recruiter at a college fair for seniors chatted with me, I told them I’d love Art school but I wanted to go somewhere for something with more straightforward in terms of job stability. He got excited and told me that it something they hear a lot but that AI guarantees I’d have employment after graduation.

Fast forward and I dropped out (luckily) early on in my degree. Mostly I just hated it there. But I paid for it split between two means. First was my government loans, which I’d been slowly paying off, and like everyone else I got that golden letter about the class action suit. After (pretty sure over) two years I’m finally seeing movement in Mohela where I’m in the negative for my loans so hopefully they’ll get to the actual refund part soon… and I waited on hold for 4 hours and 23 minutes just for them to tell me it would get done eventually and they can’t give me a status update or tell me how long it will take or what stage it is at. I might have crashed out in a message on their site and swore at them a lot… 🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s all been very frustrating.

The second way I paid for it is what I’m really upset about. My grandparents didn’t leave me a lot and they died when I was pretty young. But he set aside some thousands for me to use for my education. And I’m just so disgusted with myself that I failed in using my inheritance and his legacy on a glorified scam. He was a severe and practical man, and I know he’d be disappointed in that being what happened to his money. I wish I’d looked into options to privately sue for what I paid out of pocket to this nightmare company. And now that I realize that, statute of limitation is probably crazy gone and there’s nothing left of the company to really sue for I’m sure. I wish I could get that money back and put it towards the masters program I’m starting.

Sorry for wasting your money, Grandpa.

Second time buying from this seller. Very responsive and cordial! Will continue to buy from them in future
